Over the last several years evidence has been mounting that a large expansion of nuclear energy capacity is indispensable for keeping global warning within 1.5°C limits. Multiple studies have confirmed that, contrary to the claims by “all-renewables” zealots, no single group of technologies can enable a timely and cost-efficient energy transition, and a diversified energy mix of low-carbon sources, including both intermittent renewables and nuclear, is needed to achieve net-zero by 2050. The most recent estimates suggest that the global nuclear energy installed capacity needs to increase 2.5-3 times from the current 370 GW to between 916 GWe and 1,160 GW by 2050.

Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom opened a regional centre headquartered in Beijing on 7 April. "We are looking to expand our business in China, a market with huge potential for growth in the nuclear industry, and the activities of regional centre are designed to help strengthen our cooperation with the country," said Alexander Merten, president of Rosatom International Network (RIN). Rosatom is not only planning to build more new reactors with its long-standing partner China National Nuclear Corp, but is also expected to expand its business into "non-nuclear activities" such as agriculture, organic chemicals and nuclear medicine, Merten said. He was speaking on the sidelines of the 14th China International Nuclear Industry Exhibition in Beijing.

Brazil has shelved a proposal to open its nuclear power sector to private investors, according to Maurício Tolmasquim, the head of energy planning agency EPE. He said the government needed "to bide its time" before presenting a bill to that effect to congress. Nul;ear utility Eletronuclear, a unit of state-run Eletrobras, earlier this year called for "greater flexibility" to allow private companies to build NPPs in Brazil. "It would mean changing the constitution and we have to wait for the right moment," Tolmasquim told reporters. "This year is difficult. Constitutional change requires three-fifths of [congressional] support." However, he said the government remained committed to opening up the segment to private investors. "It's hard to expand under the current model," he said. "To build a nuclear plant now you have long lead-times and costs. I think it's really important to have a majority of private capital."
