As the urgency of decarbonization grows, the role of nuclear energy in achieving net-zero targets is once again at the center of debate. Can nuclear power be part of a sustainable energy future — and what are its trade-offs in terms of safety, cost, and social acceptance? Are recent developments in the technology changing the equation?
