Twenty-two countries announced that they would expand investment in nuclear energy and support the development and construction of small modular reactors (SMRs) and other advanced nuclear reactors.
They pledged to take the necessary actions to operate the country’s nuclear power plants in a safe and sustainable manner, adhere to non-proliferation principles, and manage waste fuel responsibly over the long term.
He also declared that he would support responsible countries seeking to introduce nuclear energy.
He then urged member countries of the World Bank (WB), international financial institutions, and regional development banks to provide financial support for nuclear energy.
