ON THE RECORD – POST FUKUSHIMA

“We’re seeing a knee-jerk reaction saying ‘get rid

of nuclear,’ but that is not going to happen in the long

run. There is no other good solution if you want to

decarbonize the energy sector. As far as small

reactors go, these events in Japan will strengthen

their hand as opposed to weakening it.”
