"Countries such as Poland, the UK, the US, Canada; countries that have been building nuclear plants all along, such as China, Russia; and many others around the world including countries that have not built nuclear in the past, countries that are located in the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia - they have made the decision that nuclear is part of the future," said NEA Director-General William Magwood. "I think the question today for many countries is whether nuclear is accessible to them in the near term because of the difficulties of financing."
During his introductory remarks, Adam Guibourgé-Czetwertyński, Poland's undersecretary of state for climate and environment, said the country had identified "a crucial role" for nuclear energy in its future energy mix.
However, he said one of the most important issues the development of a nuclear power programme currently faces is the availability of adequate and effective financing at reasonable cost. "It is indeed one of the greatest challenges that we face in bringing a new nuclear power plant from the development stage to reliable, safe and economic commercial operation. Without finding the right way to address this issue, there will be no successful nuclear power plant projects, and without nuclear the transition to a zero-emission, clean energy system would be much more difficult."
