Nuclear power needed for climate change: IAEA director
Nuclear power is vital in fighting against climate change, said Yukiya Amano,director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Speaking at the World Energy Congress in Istanbul, of which Anadolu Agency is the global communications partner for 2016, Amano said there was a significant increase in the global use of nuclear power.
"We believe, without nuclear power, it is very unlikely that the international community can achieve the objective of of an increase of less than 2 degrees [Celsius] in global temperature levels," said Amano.
He said many people had believed the Fukushima incident in March 2011 signaled the end of nuclear power usage.
