Nuclear Energy’s Strategic Shift

The convergence of technological changes alongside improved financial ecosystems, as well as the growing demand for cleaner base load energy to meet the increased needs of both urbanisation and energy intensive data centres, have combined with varying strategic motivations globally to underpin a new momentum in the pursuit of nuclear energy. In this Policy Wall episode, Rachel Bronson, Visiting Professor of International Affairs at the American University in Dubai, joins Cauvery Ganapathy, Fellow, Climate and Energy at ORF Middle East to discuss the motivations underpinning this growing interest in nuclear energy, and maps out concerns relating to proliferation pathways, geopolitical alignments and the enormous potential of the form for energy security calculations. #NuclearEnergy #Technology #MiddleEast #Security #DataCentres
