Description
Rising electricity demand driven by electrification, digitalisation, artificial intelligence and industrial growth is placing renewed emphasis on the need for firm and secure baseload power generation. At the same time, the nuclear sector faces challenges related to project delivery, financing, regulatory capacity and workforce availability. This plenary session will examine the policy market and institutional conditions required to enable the deployment of new nuclear at scale. Ministers will discuss pathways and enabling conditions to accelerate new nuclear construction projects.
