Why would anyone upvote a 4 year old press release from a corporate cartel?
IAEA is the international body responsible for standardizations on nuclear energy.
Four years is not a long span of time in the context of nuclear energy, where technological developments take the scale of decades.
This press release pertains to the newly announced western strategy for nuclear, low-carbon energy. That strategy is still current.
By working to ensure that everyone can benefit from nuclear science, the IAEA underpins rights enshrined in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in 1976. These include the right to benefit from scientific progress; the right to an adequate standard of living and the right to the highest-attainable standard of health.
The Agency does this by using nuclear science to combat zoonotic diseases; bolster food safety; protect fruits from pests; strengthen water management; treat cancer; and of course, to help countries mitigate climate change.
