If you are in any doubt whatsoever about the future of nuclear power and its place in the world’s energy mix then I can assure you, the world’s nations do not share the same concern. As covered on CBC nuclear energy generation of electricity has reached record levels and, according to the NEA, a branch of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the number of nuclear reactors currently under construction is not only higher than before Fukushima but is set to accelerate even faster.
The US, China, Russia, India, UAE, UK, Poland, South Korea… the list of countries building or planning to build new reactors goes on and on and the CBC coverage gives, in my opinion, a good overview of where the nuclear energy industry is headed.
