 Report Explores Potential Growth Of Nuclear

There is increasing and widespread recognition that nuclear energy will feature in the future global energy mix, but its role will be influenced by a number of factors, a report published on Monday says.The World Energy Council’s World Energy Scenarios report says that in one scenario – based on an “innovative, and globally market-driven world” – nuclear accounts for 8.5% of electricity generation by 2060 compared with 11% in 2015.
