John Fingleton Advocates for Nuclear Power Consideration in Ireland
John Fingleton, chair of the UK's Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce, urges the Irish government to plan for nuclear power adoption. He suggests monitoring new reactor technologies as electricity demand rises and greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced. The existing ban on nuclear energy in Ireland, imposed by a law from the last century, should be reconsidered in light of modular reactor advancements. Fingleton argues that safety concerns are overstated and that new reactors could complement renewable energy sources.
