Energy Minister Daryl Vaz said that while nuclear energy is a contentious issue with its own challenges, when handled responsibly, it can offer “unprecedented opportunities” for scientific research, medical advancements, and energy production.
Speaking on Tuesday at the opening ceremony of the 31st National Science and Technology Conference, which was organised by the Scientific Research Council (SRC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Vaz said nuclear technology “holds the key” to the advancements of these areas. He also expressed that it is necessary to explore how nuclear technologies could be integrated into the broader sustainable development goals.
