If we are going to stand any chance of combatting climate change and keeping global temperature increases to 1.5^oC and at the same time provide reliable and affordable electricity to all that will need it, we are going to need nuclear energy.

The importance of nuclear energy for the transition towards a clean and affordable energy system is being highlighted at the 24^th World Energy Congress, taking place this week in Abu Dhabi.

World Nuclear Association has today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the OECD Nuclear Agency during the World Nuclear Association Symposium in London.

World Nuclear Association’s projections for nuclear generating capacity growth have been revised upwards for the first time in eight years, following the introduction of more favourable policies in a number of countries.

The latest edition of the World Nuclear Performance Report has been published. The world’s nuclear reactors made a growing contribution to supplying clean and reliable electricity in 2018.

Worldwide nuclear generation in 2018 increased for the sixth successive year, reaching 2563 TWh. This is more than 10% of global electricity demand.
