IAEA Triples Nuclear Power Forecast as Small Modular Reactors Gain Momentum
Source Summary
The International Atomic Energy Agency released a new report projecting that global nuclear power generation capacity will triple by 2060. The IAEA expects a significant portion of this growth to come from small modular reactors being deployed across power grids worldwide, marking a shift after years of development delays.
Why it matters
The IAEA's tripled forecast and emphasis on small modular reactors signals a potential major shift in global energy infrastructure toward nuclear power as a low-carbon energy source.
