Nuclear Energy Policy

Nuclear energy policy refers to the guidelines and decisions countries make regarding the use of nuclear power for electricity generation and other purposes. It involves balancing energy needs, environmental concerns, safety, and economic factors. Governments assess the benefits of nuclear energy, such as low greenhouse gas emissions and energy independence, against risks like nuclear accidents and waste management. Policies also address international agreements on nuclear non-proliferation and safety standards to prevent misuse. Ultimately, effective nuclear energy policy seeks to harness the benefits of nuclear power while ensuring safety and protecting public health and the environment.
