60 States Eye Nuclear

摘要

Up to 60 countries are considering including nuclear power in their energy mix, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). "The IAEA is talking with 50-60 countries about the construction of nuclear power plants," said Holger Rogner, head of planning and economic studies at the UN nuclear watchdog. Rogner said the number of countries that have approached the IAEA over the last four years has doubled, highlighting the resurgence of nuclear power as a feasible, low-carbon, secure baseload supply of electricity.
