IAEA boosts projections for nuclear power’s potential growth
The International Atomic Energy Agency has revised upward its projections regarding the potential growth of nuclear power’s capacity for electricity generation over the next three decades. The upward revision is the first by the IAEA since the Fukushima Daiichi accident in 2011.
Released last week, the 148-page report, Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power Estimates for the Period up to 2050, provides detailed glimpses into possible nuclear futures in North America; Latin America and the Caribbean; Northern, Western, and Southern Europe; Eastern Europe; Africa; Western Asia, Southern Asia, and Central and Eastern Asia; Southeastern Asia; and Oceania. Global and regional nuclear power projections are presented as low and high cases.
The Diversity and Inclusion in ANS Committee is responsible for promoting and supporting the participation of underrepresented or marginalized groups within the Society. Such groups include, but are not limited to: women, persons of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, persons with disabilities, and other underrepresented groups. The committee shall encourage entrance into the nuclear industry, support them achieving their career objectives, serve as ANS liaison to relevant committees in other technical societies, assist the Society in communicating public information where appropriate, and advise the Executive Committee and ANS leadership on domestic and international diversity and inclusion strategies.
