NGO Declaration on the Future of Nuclear Energy

The NGO Declaration on the Future of Nuclear Energy advocates for the rapid expansion of nuclear power to support global decarbonization and energy security, while emphasizing that speed must not compromise safety or security. It calls for coordinated leadership across government, industry, and finance, and suggests specific actions such as pooling resources for design orderbooks, implementing sustained investment policies, and maintaining independent regulatory capabilities.

• Nuclear energy is identified as a uniquely valuable clean energy source capable of supporting economic development, energy security, and deep decarbonization.
• The document notes a commitment by 25 countries to triple their nuclear energy capacity by the year 2050.
• To scale nuclear power globally without increasing security risks, the signatories recommend several strategic actions: pooling resources to create large orderbooks for specific designs to stimulate investment, implementing policies that signal sustained at-scale investment, maintaining independent regulatory capabilities, expanding international workforce collaboration, adhering to high safeguard standards to avoid security risks, and proactively planning for spent fuel management.
