The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has revised upward its nuclear power projections, signaling an entirely shifted momentum for the sector. The decision marks the fifth consecutive upward revision since 2021, when forecasts began to rebound following a “lost decade” triggered by the Fukushima disaster in 2011.
“The IAEA’s steadily rising annual projections underscore a growing global consensus: nuclear power is indispensable for achieving clean, reliable and sustainable energy for all,” Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi told delegates at the agency’s annual general conference in Vienna.
