In today's world, where artificial intelligence has become one of the main pillars of technology, the need for energy is felt more than ever. Sama Bilaw y Leon, the Director General of the World Nuclear Association, recently spoke about the challenges and opportunities facing nuclear energy in this new market.
War and Increasing Energy Demand
The war in Iran, as one of the main factors in global changes, has had a significant impact on energy demand. This conflict has not only affected regional security but has also led to an increased need for sustainable and efficient energy resources. In this context, nuclear energy has emerged as a reliable and cost-effective option for meeting the energy needs of artificial intelligence.
The Role of Small Modular Reactors
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are recognized as an attractive solution due to their flexible and scalable capabilities. These reactors can produce energy quickly and at a lower cost compared to larger reactors. Sama Bilaw y Leon believes that SMRs can be deployed in war-torn areas or regions lacking energy infrastructure and can help provide sustainable energy.
These developments indicate that while global challenges are increasing, nuclear energy can act as a driving force in meeting the future needs of humanity. It seems that in the near future, this technology will emerge as one of the key solutions to address energy crises and respond to the growing demands of artificial intelligence.
