{{Short description|Dutch energy scientist}}
'''Jan Willem Storm van Leeuwen''' (born 1941, [[Dutch East Indies]])<ref>Charles Barton, [http://energyfromthorium.com/2008/03/23/david-fleming-and-jan-willem-storm-van-leeuwen/ David Fleming and Jan Willem Storm van Leeuwen]</ref> is a consultant in chemistry and energy systems.
Storm van Leeuwen received his Master of Science, physical chemistry, at the Technical University Eindhoven. He is a senior scientist at Ceedata Consultants. He also develops courses for chemistry teachers for the Open University at Heerlen. He is the secretary of the Dutch Association of the [[Club of Rome]]. His two fields of expertise are technology assessment and life cycle analyses of energy systems, focussed on sustainability aspects. He published numerous reports and articles on various topics related to energy and environment, also in peer-reviewed scientific journals.<ref>{{cite journal|url= |title=Nuclear uncertainties: Energy loans for fission power |date=1985 |author=Jan Willem Storm van Leeuwen |journal=Energy Policy |doi=10.1016/0301-4215(85)90158-2 |pages=253–266}}</ref>

Storm van Leeuwen noted that :
<blockquote>
''The method of Sevior and Flitney based on financial data appears to me full of hidden assumptions, bookkeeping problems, [[Statistical significance#Pitfalls|statistical pitfalls]]{{Broken anchor|date=2024-05-29|bot=User:Cewbot/log/20201008/configuration|target_link=Statistical significance#Pitfalls|reason= The anchor (Pitfalls) [[Special:Diff/378689107|has been deleted]].}} and uncertainties.''
</blockquote>
 
The paper has been used by anti-nuclear organizations to claim that nuclear power is not clean enough to be considered a part of a clean energy mix.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.feasta.org/documents/energy/nuclear_power2.htm|title=Why Nuclear Power Cannot be a Major Energy Source|author=David Fleming|date=April 2006|accessdateaccess-date=2009-12-06}}</ref>

Storm van Leeuwen also presented his previous work as part of another non-[[peer reviewed]] controversial paper "''Secure Energy? Civil Nuclear Power, Security and Global Warming''",<ref name=storm2/> published by a [[think tank]], the [[Oxford Research Group]], an institute unaffiliated with [[Oxford universityUniversity]], in which it argues nuclear power is not a long-term reducer of greenhouse gas emissions.<ref name=storm2med/>
 
His original results has been used in a study<ref name=sydlen/> -'' Life cycle energy and greenhouse gas emissions of nuclear energy: A review. Energy Conversion and Management -'' with several modifications.
