Danish industry groups have joined forces to form an alliance which aims to promote nuclear energy as the Scandinavian country reconsiders its 40-year ban on reactors in what would be a major policy shift.
The groups include the Confederation of Danish Industry, the Danish Metalworkers’ Union, and the Novo Nordisk Foundation, an independent enterprise organisation.
They said the Danish Nuclear Power Alliance will advocate for investment in and the construction of nuclear power plants, particularly small modular reactors (SMRs), as a way of securing energy independence and meeting carbon reduction goals.
