The nuclear renaissance is sweeping across Europe as more nations evaluate the potential of nuclear power to contribute to an energy secure, low carbon future.
However, the race is on. With global interest in nuclear power now at record levels, government, utilities and regulators must ensure that the right conditions for new build exist, if the next wave of NPPs is to be built on time and on budget.
