Concluding a scientific debate around place of nuclear power in European Union's "Taxonomy of environmentally sustainable technologies", the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) published a report discussing sustainability and environmental impact of nuclear fission life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, radiation, safety and other debated topics, recommending that it is included into the taxonomy as sustainable. In many aspects nuclear power has been found to be comparable to other technologies, including renewable energy, while methods for ensuring long-term safety of the plants and waste exist.
