Nuclear Policy and Technology Developments - A Global Perspective

In view of the Paris Climate Agreement the electricity production practices and projections are changing - in the Nordic area and worldwide. The ongoing revolution with respect to markets and innovation in the energy sector is reflected in the conditions for nuclear power. In this year’s edition of the Energiforsk Nuclear Conference we looked into the two pronounced areas of nuclear policy and technology development.
