World leaders gathered in Brussels at the first ever Nuclear Energy Summit co-chaired by the Prime Minister of Belgium Alexander De Croo and the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Mariano Grossi. The Summit was the highest-level meeting to date exclusively focused on the topic of nuclear energy. It followed inclusion of nuclear energy in the Global Stocktake agreed at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai in December 2023 and the launch of the IAEA’s Atoms4NetZero initiative.

The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Alberta to establish a comprehensive cooperation framework to jointly explore the viability of small modular reactor (SMR) technologies to help to meet Alberta’s net-zero targets. The MoU was signed by KAERI President Dr Joo Han-Gyu, Alberta’s Minister of Jobs, Economy & Northern Development Brian Jean, and Minister of Trade, Immigration & Multiculturalism Rajan Sawhney, at a virtual event. It seeks to bolster collaboration on the deployment of SMR technology, including Korea’s System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor (SMART).

G7 ministers reaffirm net zero targets, condemn Russia, and offer only qualified support for nuclear
Group of Seven (G7) energy and environment ministers, following a two-day meeting in the northern Japanese city of Sapporo, issued a 36-page communique laying out their commitments ahead of a G7 summit in Hiroshima in May. The detailed statement covered sections on environment, climate and energy. It reaffirmed a commitment to accelerating the clean energy transition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. “We call on and will work with other countries to end new unabated coal-fired power generation projects globally as soon as possible to accelerate the clean energy transition in a just manner,” the statement says, stipulating that countries should rely on “predominantly” clean energy by 2035.
