Nuclear power has long been clouded by fear and controversy, from its association with nuclear weapons to the accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima. Yet, for decades, it’s quietly provided a reliable source of electricity without producing any carbon emissions. Now, with the rising demand for energy and the urgent need to cut emissions, nuclear is starting to get a second look from experts and governments around the world.
New reactor technologies, like small modular reactors and microreactors, promise to make nuclear energy safer and more affordable. With 22 countries pledging to triple their nuclear capacity by 2050, it could play a major role in achieving global net-zero goals. But there are still hurdles to clear—like reducing costs, removing regulator barriers, and shifting public opinion. The question is whether we can overcome these challenges and see nuclear as a vital part of our clean energy future.
