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.
