caption_attribution_description: English: Mean value of nuclear power greenhouse gas emissions based on 2008 Sovacool study. The study was a survey of 103 life cycle studies of greenhouse gas equivalent emissions for nuclear power plants to identify a subset of the most current, original, and transparent studies. It includes the 1997 Vattenfall study.
