Reviving nuclear energy

MATTHEW BUNN and MARTIN MALIN of the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University state that global nuclear capacity had to be tripled by 2050 to make a meaningful contribution to the mitigation of carbon emissions and that would entail an increase in the pace of addition of nuclear plants from 4 currently to 25 annually. In an article for Innovations, the MIT Press Quarterly, "Enabling a Nuclear Revival—And Managing Its Risks", they call for increased levels of international cooperation and stronger international institutions to achieve nuclear safety, security, nonproliferation, and waste management which were essential  enablers  for  large-scale  nuclear  energy  growth.
