Global interest in introducing nuclear power is on the rise, with ground being broken for the largest number of reactors in decades last year, the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported.
The United Nations nuclear watchdog’s board has approved an almost €25 million increase in the agency’s 2010 budget enabling the watchdog to continue its work.
With the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog having warned recently that funding limitations are a major obstacle to verification, the body’s board is meeting in Vienna today to discuss its upcoming budget.
