Nuclear chief: countries must have a coherent energy plan to get to net-zero

Countries such as the UAE, Sweden and China are the ambassadors of nuclear energy, says Dr Sama Bilbao y León, Director General of the World Nuclear Association

Framing the industry's challenges
For Dr León, this represents an opportunity to replace older nuclear plants and encourage innovation such as advanced small modular reactors (SMRs).“It is important to frame the challenge facing the industry. It is massive, urgent and facing us right here. That’s the reason why countries such as the UAE and France are actively pursuing nuclear energy today,” Dr León told Energy Connects on the sidelines of the World Utilities Congress in Abu Dhabi, which she described as an “incredibly successful and diverse event with a clear focus”.Along with investments in infrastructure, technology and supply chains, human capital was key to the success of nuclear industries. “That’s why countries from France, Sweden and the UAE to China and Bangladesh are all the future ambassadors of nuclear energy,” Dr Leon said.According to her, nuclear energy is among the cleanest technologies available today with the lowest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, producing only 15 grams CO2-equivalent per kilowatt hour (kWh), when considered over a nuclear plant’s entire lifecycle.
