Dev Randhawa on Anglo-French Nuclear Announcement
If you missed Friday's news, the UK and France annouced a new nulear energy cooperation agreement - something that highlights the sustained growth of nuclear energy. In fact, in the words of the UK government today, it sets out a “shared long term vision of safe, secure, sustainable and affordable energy, that supports growth and helps to deliver our emission reductions targets."
This sort of statement makes it clear that governments view nuclear energy as a preferred source of low cost, long term and sustainable energy and it’s backed up with a commitment that will deliver significant commercial contracts.
The announcement also comes just one week after the US decided to build its first two new nuclear power stations in 30 years and Canada and China signed a uranium export agreement.
