The World Economic Forum has partnered with Public-private partnerships are crucial for stakeholders across the nuclear ecosystem to developing enabling policies, driving modernization develop a Framework to Accelerate the Deployment of regulations and building a supply chain to deliver of Advanced Nuclear and Small Modular Reactors advanced nuclear and SMRs at scale. [...] The US established the high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) Availability Program and put $2.7 billion towards producers of low-enriched uranium.7 At COP28, the World Nuclear Association and the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) launched the Net Zero Nuclear campaign, with support of the Atoms4NetZero Improve coordination and momentum through government, initiative and the UK government. [...] According to the IAEA, around 30 countries are considering nuclear power for the first time and – Collaborating between the nuclear ecosystem must develop the technical capacity to safely build and regulatory bodies to streamline licensing and operate plants. [...] The European Union and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) have outlined methodologies and quality New methodologies to improve accessibility and quality- assurance for “commercial grade dedication” to verify and assurance of nuclear components and materials. [...] Advanced nuclear and SMRs are crucial As the demand for clean energy grows, government technologies to contribute to a secure, sustainable and business can collaborate to implement a and equitable energy transition.
