⚛️One of the great parts of my time at @WorldNuclear has been the fact I have been able to engage and enthuse people regarding the nuclear cause. Engaging people..is crucial, as is helping them find the vocabulary to talk about nuclear energy @AgnetaRising world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Messa…

Congratulations to all who have worked so hard to enable Barakah 1 to begin supplying clean and reliable electricity to the people of UAE.

⚛️@AgnetaRising of @WorldNuclear, praised the Emirates after the opening of #Barakah #nuclear plant. "I congratulate all those involved, their professionalism and dedication in bringing this project to the beginning of its operations..."⚛️ thenational.ae/uae/science/ua…

Barakah will soon be joined by reactors under construction in Belarus, Bangladesh and Turkey. We need to see this repeated in more newcomer countries to have truly effective decarbonisation and deliver a cleaner and economically stronger tomorrow. world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/UAEs-…

First criticality is a great achievement for all those working at Barakah. The reactors there will generate clean electricity, highly skilled jobs and economic growth for many decades. world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/UAEs-…

Nuclear energy is a clean and reliable source of electricity, with modern plants such as Barakah built to the highest international standards of quality and safety. I urge more countries to follow the UAE’s example of deploying nuclear energy for a more sustainable future.

The global coronavirus pandemic will have a long-term impact on all of us, but as we look ahead to the recovery phase, there is a golden opportunity to change and improve, to build a stronger, cleaner and fairer world. From today's webinar @OECD_NEA.

Speaking at the launch of @OECD_NEA reports on the role of nuclear energy during COVID-19 and beyond, I emphasized investment in new #nuclear as part of recover plans would create jobs, establish resiliency and clean up energy all at the same time. world-nuclear.org/press/press-st…

Looking forward to this discussion.

The UK's #nuclear industry has demonstrated its flexibility & inherent safety culture during the #COVID19 crisis, and ought to be given a key role in the UK's low-carbon economic recovery, @WorldNuclear Association said in interviews with the BBC this week ow.ly/BkR030qO9z8

On June 4, @AgnetaRising , Director General of the World Nuclear Association and John Gorman, President of the Canadian Nuclear Association attended a webinar in which they discussed the topic of the importance of electricity for society. world-nuclear-news.org/Articles/Post-….

Watch @AgnetaRising, our Director General, participate in this webinar session organized by @FANRUAE.

The @IEA Global Energy Review 2020, published today, highlights the dramatic impact that the #COVID19 #coronavirus pandemic has had on energy consumption, as it has had on many aspects of our lives. Read @AgnetaRising's comments in our press release: world-nuclear.org/press/press-st…

"Governments need to take urgent action to ensure that the recovery from the economic effects of the coronavirus brings long-lasting good," World #Nuclear Association (@WorldNuclear) Director General Agneta Rising said today ow.ly/3iyc30qBLKQ

#Nuclearpower has responded to the call to action in the public health crisis that each and every one of us is facing. Read my full message here: ow.ly/dJis50yXKKu

#Coronavirus 🤝@AgnetaRising, DG de la @WorldNuclear Association, a envoyé un email de soutien à M. Pang Songtao, vice-président de #CGN et représentant de la CGN en tant que membre du conseil d'administration de la #WNA.

Fuel loading is a big step towards the start-up of #Barakah, which will soon supply clean and reliable #nuclear electricity to the UAE for generations to come. world-nuclear.org/press/press-st….

Reactors like those on Akademik Lomonosov, which were grid connected today, are well-suited for supplying electricity to hard-to-reach regions as well as serving smaller grids and industrial centres. We are at the dawn of a new era in nuclear technology. ow.ly/fn4w50xEGr6
