NEA chief: World nuclear energy is at an all-time high
Nuclear
power worldwide has reached record levels, and new reactor construction
indicates the trend will continue, according to Luis Echavarri, the
director general of the Nuclear Energy Agency. Countries have slowed or
paused nuclear development as they adjust their regulations after the
Fukushima Daiichi incident, but construction continues, he said. At
least 73 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity is expected to come on line
by 2020, according to World Nuclear Association estimates. CBC.ca (Canada)
