On March 21, Brussels (Belgium) hosted the first-ever Nuclear Energy Summit, co-chaired by the Prime Minister of Belgium Alexander De Croo and the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Mariano Grossi.
- The Nuclear Energy Summit is an initiative in collaboration with the IAEA’s ‘Atoms4Netzero’ programme.
- The summit is a part of the multilateral approach to decarbonisation.
- Nuclear power emits four times less carbon than solar farms or other renewable sources such as wind, hydropower, and geothermal.
- Nuclear power plants (NPP) also have low operating costs, smaller land imprint and a longer life cycle compared to all the other renewable energy sources.
