Facing any of the development challenges, such as poverty, hunger, health care and environment, requires energy. The global energy imbalance means that roughly 1.6 billion people live without access to electricity; and 2.4 billion rely on traditional biomass. Coupled with concerns about the risks associated to climate change and the security of energy supply, this anticipated growth in energy demand is leading to predictions of a greater role for nuclear power.
