Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate has just commissioned a study that argues that atomic energy can be a serious option in addition to wind and solar energy.

Innovation is accelerating the development and commercialisation of small modular reactors opening up additional applications for nuclear energy.

There are three basic reasons why nuclear power is "critical" to the world meeting its energy and climate goals, said International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol.

The latest IAEA annual projections show that nuclear power will continue to play a key role in the world’s low-carbon energy mix, with global nuclear electrical capacity seen nearly doubling by 2050 in our high case scenario. Climate change mitigation remains a key potential driver for maintaining and expanding the use of nuclear power.

In tandem with renewable energy, the flexibility of nuclear will enable the transition to a cleaner world and a stronger global economy.

IAEA analysts expect an increase of global nuclear electrical generating capacity by 82% to 715 gigawatts.

Nuclear energy provides nearly one-third of the world's non-emitting electricity and complementing and enabling other clean energy sources, including renewables.

Nuclear power industry must make sure it engages in open and transparent communications with stakeholders, as well as being cost-competitive with all other forms of generation,

Reduce U.S. imports of uranium from Russia. Under the current Agreement, Russian uranium exports are limited to approximately 20% of U.S. enrichment demand.

Driving investment towards nuclear projects has become "the top priority" for the industry,

Nuclear power provides about 5% of China's electricity and compared with the global average, he expects the country to develop nuclear power strongly in the future.

Abu Dhabi, which sits on most of the UAE's oil and gas resources, is forging ahead with its renewable and nuclear power projects

IEA analysis "clearly shows", he said, that nuclear power has an important role and makes the energy transition "more cost effective and more energy secure".

That's why I think nuclear has a tremendous opportunity. There is simply not another energy technology before us today that can do the things that nuclear can do.
