With the cost of importing energy soaring amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, interest in nuclear power is on the rise as nations try and find alternative energy sources

Investment in nuclear power collapsed after the 2011 tsunami in Japan led to the Fukushima disaster, which became the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.

However, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the tide could now be turning back in favour of nuclear.

Even Japan is now reconsidering the use of nuclear power, with the Prime Minister there, calling for the nuclear power industry to be revived.

Belgium has now scrapped plans to phase out nuclear power.

More than 30 countries rely on nuclear power at the moment, which supplies 10 per cent of the world’s electricity needs.
