The world’s challenges in reducing CO2 emissions, as well as an expected increased need for energy, must be solved with a combination of technologies such as solar, wind, carbon capture and storage, power-to-x, nuclear etc. There will still be a need for oil upto 2050.

Safety requirements are extremely high for the design, operation, maintenance, storage and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. Other industres are having personal accidents and deaths, which are significantly higher. Nuclear power is a well-known and well-established energy supply. In France 71.7% of energy is supplied by nuclear installations, 21.3% by renewable energy and 7.1% by fossil sources. With 4th generation reactors the safety is top notch.

The two Danish companies, #Copenhagen Atomic and #Seaborg are developing new Compact Molten Salt Reactors, which can be mass-produced and thus, significantly reduce the cost of nuclear power. CMSR is a sustainable technology and CMSR can be installed decentrally with minimal maintenance.

Investing in sustainable energy requires political commitment and a common Nordic energy strategy, where existing infrastructure is utilized optimal. There is no existing technology that can be ruled out. There must be political focus on a combination of technologies such as solar, wind, carbon capture and storage, power-to-x, nuclear, etc.
