Nuclear power is an investment that can benefit a country for generations. But financing new projects requires governments, developers, financial institutions, the private sector and long-term customers to work together. Excellent to be in London today for the @FT’s #FTEnergy Summit, where I highlighted how the @IAEAorg is helping countries prepare for nuclear power, and how our recent agreements with financial institutions, including the @WorldBankGroup, are opening new opportunities for investment. Thanks to @WorldNuclear’s Lola Infante, @TerraPower’s Chris Levesque and @FT’s @RachelMillardAS for the insightful conversation.
