By Alex Hunt, World Nuclear News, in London, Thursday, 10 September 2026

Architect Norman Foster says that nuclear’s ability to provide a “vast amount of power” with “a tiny imprint” means that micro-modular power units should be being produced at “industrial-scale, like jet engines” with the potential to autonomously power new developments and move beyond the “obsolete idea of a grid”………………………………..

The 19th Century was the age of the Industrial Revolution, he said, but the world was now moving into a new age, of “electrical revolution”. He gave examples of what he called “the rampant destruction” of the countryside by renewable energy projects…………………………………………….

I would suggest industrialised nuclear to augment the existing systems … industrialised nuclear has a critical role to play.”

In his speech, delivered without notes, the 91-year-old said that he had championed the cause of nuclear in the “corridors of power, discreetly” and said that, via courses at the Norman Foster Institute, had helped “change the policy of at least one nation”……………………………………….. https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/articles/norman-foster-says-nuclear-key-for-electrical-revolution
