1,200 nuclear plants projected worldwide by 2030
The number of nuclear plants worldwide is projected to burgeon from 446 to 1,200 by 2030, reflecting the growing popularity of nuclear power as a clean-energy source, said Gary Gates, executive board chairman of the Nuclear Energy Institute. South Korea and India have proposed building factories that will manufacture nuclear reactors at unprecedented speeds, he said, aiming for an expanding world market. "There are 65 countries in the world that have never had a reactor that have proposals out to get them," Gates said. Omaha World-Herald (Neb.)
