US And Japan Must Lead The Way, Says Commerce Secretary :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

US And Japan Must Lead The Way, Says Commerce Secretary :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: The US is working with allies like Japan to led the way in assuring the efficient licensing and construction of a new generation of inherently safe and economically viable reactors, commerce secretary Wilbur Ross told the Japan Roundtable Washington Conference.



Mr Ross said president Trump is committed to revitalising the industry and that nuclear “is and must remain an essential part of our energy mix long into the future”.



To achieve sustainable global development on a real scale, and to balance electrical demand when renewables are not available, then nuclear “must be a viable option”, he said. “If the US and Japan don’t lead this renaissance, then somebody else will.”
