The amount of energy sourced from nuclear resources will grow by 1.5% every year until 2030, a leading Russian consortium has claimed.
Rosatom Overseas’s director Dschomat Alijew told an International Atomic Energy Agency conference in St Petersburg that he expects the annual increase in nuclear energy, with demand driven primarily by China, Middle East and Africa.
Small and medium sized reactors are expected to be the ones most in demand, due to their competitive price.
Rosatom is currently building the first nuclear power plant in China, where the growing demand for energy – already highest in the world – is expected to rise by 35% by 2040.
