FAQs

Nuclear power is on an ascendant path, after years of stagnation. The environmental fight against fossil fuels is heating up. As informed people start to ask questions about what renewables will be able to achieve, nuclear power is re-entering the picture. There are many uncertainties about the economics and future of nuclear energy. Nuclear power plants are very expensive to build but costs are being reduced. The fuel is politically more secure than oil or gas and uncertainties also remain about the practicalities of nuclear energy. Nuclear Power Plants have long lead times from concept to grid. The public perception of nuclear power is not a positive one but several governments have shown that public opinion can be reformed with intelligent information and debate. No less than 20 countries are rethinking their positions on nuclear power. Coal has already rebounded and nuclear may well do the same.
