Security, climate change drive a return to nuke power; 30 nations sign pact

HUNGARY’S Prime Minister Viktor Orban speaks with Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk after posing for a group photo in front of the Atomium during a Nuclear Energy Summit at the Expo in Brussels on March 21.

Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, tried to reinvigorate that peaceful mission. In Europe, France is the leader in nuclear energy and accounts for about two-thirds of its overall provisions. The devastating impact of a nuclear accident, like the one in 1986 in Chernobyl, Ukraine, was barely a talking point.
