Is nuclear power on the verge of a revival? | Counting the Cost

Critics say nuclear power plants are dangerous, expensive and take a long time to build.

But nuclear power is being touted by many experts as a clean source of energy.

Many nations aiming to decarbonise are now building new reactors which are mainly supplied by China and Russia.
