Nuclear revival prolongs the life of power plants. Building them is another story.
Many countries, especially Asian ones, are reviving atomic projects in search of stable prices and energy independence, although experts warn that this is not always achieved.
The Spanish Government quietly published on August 12 an extension of the lifespan of the Almaraz nuclear power plant. The move marks a shift in policy, as the government had previously campaigned for the closure of nuclear plants. The decision was justified by citing the current global context. The trend is part of a global resurgence in nuclear energy, driven by the volatility of renewable energy sources and the need for stable prices and strategic sovereignty.
Many countries, particularly in Asia, are revisiting nuclear projects that had declined since the 1990s.
