Introduction:
When we consider climate change, we need to look at the full range of options that can deliver a low-carbon economy. Nuclear energy provides one of these options and is unique. A one or two nuclear reactor plant can make a significant impact in terms of electricity provision in a country. Nuclear energy projects are large, providing more than 1000 MW of energy, and are complex technically and cost and construction. This training course will develop your understanding of the law and policy behind these high-cost and capital-intensive projects. It will enable you to see the role that law plays in managing the industry and ensure you know the project as it interacts with local, national, and international law. Nuclear energy is an exciting and growing area within the energy sector. The training course will place you at the forefront of new opportunities and engagement on this complex topic.
