IAEA: Climate change sparks nuclear power revival
None
Nuclear power is growing in popularity globally as concerns grow over climate change, and should be accessible to rich and poor countries alike, the International Atomic Energy Agency said on Monday.
IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano told a meeting to discuss the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that more than 60 countries were considering using nuclear power to generate electricity. He said between 10 and 25 new countries were expected to bring their first nuclear power plants online by 2030.(Reuters)
