AIEA: Clima extremă afectează centralele nucleare globale

Climate change is increasingly impacting energy systems, particularly nuclear infrastructure, necessitating adaptation and water resource monitoring for safety. Kazuyuki Nagasawa from the IAEA highlights the importance of assessing natural risks and enhancing nuclear resilience. The IAEA is conducting an international project to address climate-related challenges for nuclear safety, focusing on risks like floods and extreme weather. Regular safety evaluations of nuclear plants consider water availability and quality, crucial for reactor cooling. The IAEA advocates a resilience-based approach to nuclear safety, incorporating climate projections into facility design and location.
