Countries invest in nuclear power as clean energy demand rises

Countries are increasingly investing in nuclear power, reversing a decade-long decline. Major tech companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are entering the sector, driven by the need for clean energy and carbon reduction goals. China has significantly expanded its nuclear capacity, while South Korea and France are also increasing their nuclear projects. The U.S. government has committed to tripling nuclear power use by 2050, emphasizing its role in combating climate change. New technologies, such as Small Modular Reactors, aim to make nuclear energy more accessible and affordable. However, challenges remain, including high costs and unresolved issues regarding radioactive waste disposal.
