NuclearIAEA Projects 950 GW of Global Nuclear Power Capacity by 2050
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said generation capacity of nuclear power worldwide is expected to rise more than the group previously expected, to as much as 950 GW of generation by 2050. The IAEA in a report published Sept. 16 revised its annual projection for a fourth straight year, saying global nuclear capacity could […]

NuclearNuclear Power Projected to Expand: 30 Developing Countries Considering the Energy Source
A recently released International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) study predicts that nuclear power will continue expanding globally in the coming years, even as the pace of development slows due to low fossil fuel prices and the growth of renewable energy. The IAEA presents nuclear power generating capacity projections annually. The estimates were released just days […]

NuclearNuclear Power’s Future Is Still Bright, According to IAEA Report
A study released today by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) suggests that the world’s nuclear power generating capacity will continue growing through at least 2030. The projected growth varies widely due to uncertainty surrounding energy policy, license renewals, permanent retirements, and future construction, but even the “low case” sees nuclear capacity increasing 2.4% by […]
