Denmark is reviewing its long-standing ban on nuclear power as part of a significant energy policy shift. The government plans to analyze new nuclear technologies, specifically small modular reactors, which promise cost efficiency and shorter construction times. With over 80% of Denmark's electricity already from renewable sources, interest in modular reactors aligns with a broader European trend of reassessing nuclear energy in light of rising low-carbon electricity demand. Former Prime Minister Rasmussen supports lifting the ban, highlighting the necessity of nuclear for ensuring a stable, non-fossil energy supply.
Aagaard noted that while the emergence of small, modular reactors is promising, a thorough understanding of their implications for Danish society is crucial.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen criticized the existing ban, arguing for nuclear power as a necessary component for a stable non-fossil energy base-load.
