The European association Nucleareurope, representing the interests of the nuclear industry, has published a plan for the development of nuclear energy in the European Union. The document defines how the EU authorities can contribute to the development of the sector against the backdrop of Europe's desire to reduce its dependence on energy imports from Russia.
Earlier, the European Union decided to phase out Russian liquefied natural gas by the beginning of 2027, and pipeline gas by the fall of 2027. Nucleareurope considers nuclear energy a key factor in achieving Europe's energy independence and insists on including this industry in all climate and energy strategies of the European Union on an equal footing with renewable energy sources. In addition, the plan calls for simplifying access to public and private funding for projects to build and extend the life of nuclear power plants.
This technology will ensure energy sovereignty. Its low emissions make it an ideal "partner" in decarbonizing our economy. In addition, it is affordable and operates 24/7.
