Rockefeller Foundation Report Asserts "Role of Philanthropy" in Emerging Nuclear Debate In Global South

A report entitled The Role of Nuclear Energy in Powering Universal Energy Abundance for Emerging Economies was released on Friday, Dec 5, surveys the tremendous opportunities to be opened up with the unleashing of nuclear energy in the Global South, including in Africa.
