The nuclear market will be able to respond as it transitions away from the oversupply of recent years - but decisions to increase capacity in the front-end of the fuel cycle will need to be taken soon, according to speakers at World Nuclear Fuel Cycle 2023.
Recent geopolitical events have focused world attention on the importance of energy security and the vital role that nuclear can play in providing clean, reliable energy. This is causing momentum to build in both nuclear generation plans and the supply chain to support it, said the keynote panellists at the World Nuclear Fuel Cycle 2023 conference in the Netherlands.
The Canadian Nuclear Association's President and CEO John Gorman explains why the country's nuclear sector is well set for the future and says he thinks "soft issues" rather than technology are now the barrier to reaching net-zero. InFocus sees Francois Morin providing a guide to the nuclear industry in China, while the news round-up considers the impact of recent elections.
