technology, safety protocols, and public perception over the decades.
Nuclear energy stands at a crossroads, embodying a paradox in the modern energy landscape. On
one hand, it is lauded for its high energy density and the capability to provide stable, continuous electricity
that is largely unaffected by the fluctuations and uncertainties of other renewable sources. This reliability
positions nuclear power as a potentially indispensable player in the grid, especially in the context of
escalating demands for energy and the imperative to transition away from fossil fuels. On the other hand,
the use of nuclear technology is fraught with significant challenges. Safety concerns, stemming from
historical accidents, continue to cast a long shadow over its public acceptance. Waste management remains
an unsolved conundrum, with long-term storage solutions for radioactive waste still being a subject of
intense research and debate. Furthermore, the specter of proliferation risks, where nuclear technology could
be diverted to non-peaceful uses, adds a layer of geopolitical complexity to its deployment.
The divergent paths taken by different nations reflect this dichotomy. Some countries, influenced by
public opinion and the daunting economics of nuclear safety enhancements, are phasing out their nuclear
fleets, viewing the risks as outweighing the benefits. In contrast, others are doubling down on nuclear
power, spurred by the promise of next-generation reactors that offer safer, more efficient, and less waste-
intensive operations. This nuclear renaissance is driven by the pressing need to decarbonize energy
systems—a goal that has gained renewed urgency under the Paris Agreement's ambitious target to cap
global temperature rise. As countries grapple with the energy trilemma of security, equity, and
sustainability, nuclear energy's role becomes a balancing act between its potential as a low-carbon bulwark
65
2. and the imperative to address its inherent challenges. The outcome of this debate will significantly shape the
trajectory of global energy policies and the future of our planet's climate.
The introduction sets the stage for a nuanced exploration of nuclear energy's dichotomous nature: its
indispensable contribution to low-carbon baseload power generation and the socio-political, economic, and
environmental challenges it must surmount. As the world stands at the crossroads of an energy transition,
the paper posits that a reevaluation of nuclear energy's role is not just timely but imperative for future
energy strategies that prioritize sustainability alongside decarbonization.
