The Brussels-based nuclear industry trade association nucleareurope has joined other industry groups to call for G7 governments* to help maximise the use of existing nuclear power plants and set out clear plans for nuclear energy deployment.
“Last year the nuclear alliance of the EU member states set the ambitious target of having 150 GW of installed nuclear capacity in the EU by 2050,” nucleareurope director-general Yves Desbazeille said in a statement that was also signed by Associazione Italiana Nucleare, Canada Nuclear Association, Groupement des Industriels Français de l’Energie Nucléaire, Japan Atomic Industrial Forum, Nuclear Energy Institute, Nuclear Industry Association and the World Nuclear Association.
