This 2006 edition of the Nuclear Energy Agency's annual "brown book" finds that 2005 was a year of major activity within the nuclear sector. Interest in nuclear energy is growing significantly in many OECD member countries with the construction of new plants, new plans for nuclear futures along with innovations in enrichment and reprocessing. The compilation provides readers with a comprehensive and easy-to-access overview of the current situation and expected trends in the various sectors of the nuclear fuel cycle.

Natural gas now accounts for almost a quarter of OECD primary energy requirements and is expected to become the second most important fuel in the world in the next decade. This comprehensive review takes an unprecedented look at developments in natural gas to 2010, analysing not only the three IEA regions (Asia Pacific, North America and Europe) but also broader global trends, such as the interaction of pipeline gas with LNG which binds the regions together. The review provides invaluable insights for understanding global supply and demand, recent events affecting gas markets, gas use for power generation, LNG, GTL, investment in the gas sector, gas prices, regulation, and storage. It also includes a special chapter analysing developments in Russia, China, India, Indonesia, and Algeria.

Hydrogen has the potential to play an important role as a sustainable and environmentally acceptable energy carrier in the 21st century. Since natural sources of pure hydrogen are extremely limited, it is necessary to develop technologies to produce large quantities of hydrogen economically. The currently dominant technology for producing hydrogen is based on reforming fossil fuels, a process which releases greenhouse gases. Hydrogen produced by water cracking, using heat and surplus electricity from nuclear power plants, requires no fossil fuels and results in lower greenhouse gas emissions. This conference proceedings presents the state of the art in the nuclear production of hydrogen and describes its associated scientific and technical challenges.

The 2006 edition of the National Accounts of OECD Countries, Volume II: Detailed Tables, covers, in addition to main aggregates, detailed national accounts data for most OECD countries for the period 1993 to 2004, with provisional data for 2005 when available.  It includes detailed breakdowns by kind of activity for gross value added (current and constant prices, 2000 reference year), components of value added, gross fixed capital formation and employment.  It also includes final consumption expenditure of households by purpose and  simplified accounts for three main sectors (general government, corporations and households).  Detailed accounts by institutional sectors (non-financial corporations, financial corporations, general government and its sub-sectors, households and non-profit institutions serving households) are only available on the database.  Data are shown for 30 OECD countries and the euro area back to 1993 in most cases, expressed in national currency (in euros for euro area countries).  These data are based on the System of National Accounts 1993 (1993 SNA) for all countries, except Turkey still presented on the basis of the 1968 SNA.

This detailed reference work on gas supply and demand covers not only the OECD countries but also the rest of the world.  It contains essential information on LNG and pipeline trade, gas reserves, storage capacity and prices. The main part of the book, however, concentrates on OECD countries, showing a detailed supply and demand balance for each country and for the three OECD regions: North America, Europe and Pacific, as well as a breakdown of gas consumption by end-user. Import and export data are reported by source and destination.
