As policymakers grapple with the twin challenges of climate change and a post-COVID economic recovery, the benefits of nuclear power are clearer than ever, but the industry still has some way to go in addressing perceptions of its alleged drawbacks with cost, safety and radioactive waste. This was the overriding message of the three panellists in a webinar held last week by Utilities Middle East in partnership with Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom.

Russia’s fuel company TVEL is developing accident tolerant fuel (ATF) for light water reactors and plans to begin testing it in late 2019, according to Kirill Komarov, first deputy general director of state nuclear corporation Rosatom. "The basis of all these developments are technological solutions in the field of materials science, related to zirconium and a variety of other materials, the alloy of which will enable the fuel to be extremely durable and resistant to any type of exposure, " he said on 18 July.
