Issues such as the security of energy supply and climate change are causing governments to take a closer look at ways to reduce the population’s dependence on fossil fuels.

As the global debate over the role of pollutant emitting energy generation technologies accelerates, non-carbon-emitting nuclear power is proposed as the ideal solution. The World’s governments are coming under increasing pressure to adopt nuclear power and uranium development as part of their emissions reduction policy and as the ultimate solution to meeting non-carbon-emitting energy needs, providing a clear and achievable response to the grave concerns of climate change.

The potential shift towards nuclear power investment, exacerbated by rising energy prices and the increased political importance of carbon emission abatement, is being facilitated by innovation in the uranium and nuclear industries. Significant advancements in the technology of nuclear disposal and storage are seeing nuclear power take precedence as the viable base-load alternative to hydrocarbons.
