60 Years of U: Perspectives on resources, demand, and the evolving role of nuclear energy

This change is driven by several major factors: geopolitical developments that highlight the need for secure energy supplies, a stronger focus on resilient energy systems, national commitments to decarbonization, and rising demand for clean and reliable electricity.
