  1. IAEA says global nuclear power could more than triple by 2060, driven by AI data centres and electrification

    IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi presented the agency's annual report to the UN General Assembly on Oct 23, forecasting that global nuclear power use could more than triple by 2060, driven by electrification, AI data centres and tech companies' demand for stable carbon-free power; it is the fifth straight year the agency has raised its forecast. In the high-growth scenario, global nuclear capacity would reach 992 GW in 2050, 2.6 times the 2024 level, with small modular reactors making up about 28%. Grossi said more than 400 reactors in over 30 countries supplied 10% of the world's electricity in 2025, and more than 60 new reactors are under construction.
