G7 pledges support for nuclear at Italy meeting
The Group of Seven (G7) recommitted its support for nuclear energy in the countries that opt to use it at a Ministerial Meeting on Climate in Italy last month.
In a statement following the April meeting, the group committed to support multilateral efforts to strengthen the resilience of nuclear supply chains, referencing the goal set by 25 countries during last year’s COP28 climate conference in Dubai to triple global nuclear generating capacity by 2050.

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has a rich history in space nuclear power, including design of nuclear systems, critical experiments, and materials fabrication. LANL capabilities ranging from 65 years of association with programs such as Kiwi and Rover to our actinide and material fabrication missions will be discussed. Perhaps no program better illustrates the importance of paying attention to the smallest aspects of a task than the application of nuclear energy to rocket propulsion.
