Nuclear power is sometimes characterized as producing no green house gases (GHG), and while this is not completely true, it is certainly accurate to say that GHG emissions from nuclear power generation are much lower than those of fossil-fuel-based power sources.
How green is nuclear energy - are there shades of green:

Tell me something I don't know MRM. My father-in-law was a nuclear safety engineer his whole life!
It's "green" simply because it substitutes for CO2 emission.
Maybe they could classify nuclear power as green for the first year of operation!
Then perhaps a very light green changing fractionally each year, over the next 10,000 years:
The radioactivity of nuclear waste naturally decays, and has a finite radiotoxic lifetime. Within a period of 1,000-10,000 years, the radioactivity of High Level Waste (HLW) decays to that of the originally mined ore.
"Germany's government has voiced its reservations against the EU draft plan to qualify nuclear power as GREEN."
==================================================================
German energy policy seems to be in a bit of a mess.....they closed their nuclear plants and seem intent on Nordstream2, which may make them more susceptible to Russian influence.
Perhaps nuclear wasn't so bad.....when did Germany last have a tsunami?
Germany's government has voiced its reservations against the EU draft plan to qualify nuclear power as GREEN.
That aside ...Germany backed down from threatening the European Commission with legal action as Austria did.
Nuclear power investments worldwide are on the increase as nations seek non-emitting ways of securing electricity BUT with all the RISK of power plant accidents, terrorist attacks and more!
According to Rystads Energy estimates investment in nuclear will rise to 45-46 Billion in 2022-2023 with 52 reactors currently under construction in 19 countries worldwide.
Europe remains the region with the most installed capacity, just under one-third global capacity while Asia steps up its game with 60% under construction.
