Taiwan is moving toward a nuclear comeback as soaring LNG prices expose the cost of import dependence. Restoring nearly 3.9 GW of nuclear capacity could eventually displace 4-4.5M tonnes of LNG annually. #Taiwan#Nuclear#LNG#EnergySecurity
Saudi Arabia has identified 110M tonnes of uranium-bearing material in the Medina region as Riyadh advances its nuclear ambitions. The figure refers to ore, not recoverable uranium, which remains uncertain. #SaudiArabia#Uranium#Nuclear
The U.S.-Saudi nuclear deal won't require the IAEA's Additional Protocol, but Riyadh plans similar oversight for enrichment and reprocessing. The pact could open billions in reactor contracts while allowing domestic enrichment. #Nuclear#SaudiArabia#Energy
Uzbekistan is reducing its reliance on Russia’s Rosatom as it builds its first nuclear plant. Tashkent wants foreign engineering oversight and aims to raise local production from 21% to at least 30% of the $9.5B project. #Nuclear#Uzbekistan#Russia
