Nuclear roadblocks.

The nuclear renaissance taking hold in Europe faces significant challenges, according to a new report by Global Energy Monitor, which outlines how frequent project cancellations and delays could hinder the continent’s decarbonisation drive.

Nearly 40 per cent of nuclear power projects
proposed across the world have been cancelled, according to the group. It found two-fifths of the nuclear capacity planned for Europe had been either cancelled or retired. Average construction time for nuclear plants has also increased, contributing to higher costs. The International Energy Agency has reported that nuclear power plants are taking longer to build in advanced economies and longer construction timelines are driving up costs.
