The goal to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2050 is shared by many governments, businesses and financial institutions. But for that to happen there will need to be a large increase in fuel supply.
The conference, co-organised by the Nuclear Energy Institute and World Nuclear Association, heard from key figures involved in all stages of the fuel cycle about what is needed to meet that increased demand. Among the issues covered in this episode are developments in the uranium enrichment sector and the challenges faced by transporters of nuclear materials. It also includes discussion of innovative technologies, and the outlook for nuclear fuel markets.
