Nuclear R&D has decreased materially in relative terms since the 1970s as investment has become more diverse. The IEA estimates that 20% of the public R&D energy budget was invested in nuclear technologies in 2015, down from nearly 73% in 1975. Over the same period, investment in energy efficiency and renewables has increased markedly, with each attracting similar shares of total energy R&D to nuclear in 2015.
All figures in 2015 US$ millions; EE+Ren.+H&F = energy efficiency, renewables and hydrogen & fuel cells
