Tony Blair’s think tank has warned the development of nuclear power is suffering from an unjustified perception of risk in the wake of two major disasters, urging the UK to take advantage of a “new dawn” in the technology driven by the uptake of AI.
In a report published on Monday, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change said the adoption of nuclear power had slowed considerably since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, and global emissions would have been lower had an “inaccurate” portrayal of the technology’s safety had not taken hold.
