The International Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Power in the 21st Century, in Washington, D.C has provided a forum for ministers, policymakers, and experts to engage on how nuclear energy can contribute to sustainable development and mitigating climate change.
While some have described Uganda’s nuclear/atomic energy ambitions as a huge gamble, Engineer Irene Batebe, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development said the project is on course and it is hoped that Uganda will have its first 2000-megawatt nuclear power plant running by the end of 2031.
