Power Demand and Growing Environmental Concerns Create a Need for
Nuclear Power in Latin America" to their offering.
Increasing Power Demand and Growing Environmental Concerns
Create a Need for Nuclear Power in Latin America
Fast-paced economic growth in the Latin American region has
stimulated electrification and power demand. The dominant source of
power generation in this region has been thermal and hydro.
However, thermal power generation has negative environmental
impacts due to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG).
Environmental pollution and destruction is increasing day by day.
To combat this unwanted destruction of the environment while still
producing power, the region is looking to more environmentally
friendly ways of power generation. Power generation using nuclear
methods produces no carbon emissions. Nuclear power's driving
forces are minimal emissions, low cost of operating and the long
life of nuclear plants. Many emerging countries in Latin America
have embraced nuclear power and are ready with plans to build
nuclear power infrastructure. However, a few countries are
revisiting their plans of nuclear power development in the
aftermath of Fukushima disaster. The growth of the nuclear power
industry is expected to be impacted by changing government policies
with the rise in global safety concerns.
