Accessing affordable and uninterruptible energy is one of today’s biggest challenges for people globally. Moreover, energy provision needs to be clean and sustainable for our planet to survive and thrive. As recognised during the UN Climate Conference, COP28, accelerating nuclear energy as part of the solution to achieve ‘deep, rapid and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions’. Nuclear power can propel economic development in newcomer countries while reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. In established nuclear nations existing nuclear power plants are being operated for longer, extending the environmental and economic efficacy of these plants. New build will include both large-scale reactors as well as smaller, modular reactors.
