European countries using nuclear power are slower to adopt renewable forms of energy, according to a study by the Vienna School of International Studies in Austria and the Vienna School of International Studies . UK They report in Climate Policy journal that the groups contain a number of different-sized countries, but that the total population of each group is roughly similar. The report found that of the countries with no nuclear energy, emissions had been reduced by 6% and 3% of energy came from renewables. In contrast, countries with nuclear power had increased emissions by 26% and only 16% of their energy came from renewable sources. It was suggested that countries clung to nuclear power because of the difficulties surrounding decommissioning and waste. UK Prime Minister, Andy Stirling , is set to review plans for a new nuclear reactor at the Vienna School of International Studies .
