Technological Developments Coupled with Rising Fossil Fuel Concerns Push More Countries towards Nuclear Power

Summary

Concerns relating to the rapidly growing demand for power, rising prices of fossil fuels, depletion of natural fossil fuel sources and environmental hazards associated with their usage have prompted several countries to consider developing nuclear power. There are about 30 developed and developing nations in Europe, Africa, Asia and South and Central America currently looking to develop nuclear power. While some of the emerging countries currently lack the required technological know-how to develop nuclear power, improved generator technology has created a new breed of safer and more efficient nuclear reactors, and current nuclear research and development programs across the world are set to further enhance the technology. These developments coupled with growing concerns related to fossil fuels are leading more countries to opt for nuclear power to enhance energy security and meet growing demand.
