Collaboration, standardization, and sustainable finance take the spotlight at IAEA’s 69th General Conference
At the 69th General Congress of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, delegates emphasized that while nuclear power is providing more clean, 24/7 baseload energy than ever before, the growing demand for gigawatts of new capacity will require a clear, transparent, and standardised nuclear energyecosystem. Today’s global nuclear energy capacity sits at 377 GW, with 417 commercial nuclear power reactors operating worldwide. Depending on the pace of deployment, IAEA projects that capacity could increase to 992 GW by 2050 in a high-case scenario or to…
