Ten EU countries call for nuclear to be marked ‘sustainable’
Ten of the 27 member countries of the European Union recently sent a letter to the European Commission calling for nuclear power to be labeled as sustainable in a new rulemaking that pertains to powering data centers and artificial intelligence.
While the EC’s decision could have significant impact on the future deployment of nuclear across the continent, this call to action also represents a broader positive reconsideration of nuclear power in Europe in recent years.

EDISON Lunch (by-invitation only event)
Across the world, nuclear power production stands at the threshold of a new era driven by rapid industrial expansion, electrification, and the growth of data centers. Nuclear energy offers scalable, 24/7, and domestically controlled energy source industry, manufacturing, and national security. However, there is a significant gap between need and deployment. Accelerating the development, qualification, and deployment of advanced next generation nuclear fuels and materials is essential for the deployment of advanced nuclear to dramatically shorten the timeline for fuel innovation and qualification. This embedded topical meeting is focused on the materials and nuclear fuels research efforts that will enable the increased deployment of nuclear reactors to meet the energy imperative of quadrupling the generation of nuclear power in the United States by 2050.
