Leaders from across the European nuclear industry have published a manifesto outlining their priorities for the new European Commission and calling on the EU to recognise nuclear as a solution to many of the challenges the bloc is facing.

Those challenges include climate change, access to affordable energy and security of supply, the manifesto, published on 13 June, says.

In the manifesto, nuclear industry leaders call on the next Commission to treat all net-zero technologies equally and implement consistent and coherent policies which facilitate the deployment of nuclear.
