In a global context of growing climate pressure and the need for profound decarbonization, nuclear energy has regained centrality in the energy agendas of numerous countries, not only for its contribution to low-carbon generation, but also for its ability to ensure continuous and stable supply. This session will address the challenges and opportunities for Latin America and the Caribbean in this new nuclear cycle: the development of technologies such as small modular reactors (SMRs), international technical cooperation, the importance of strengthening institutional and regulatory capacities, safety and risk management strategies, and the need to build public trust through education, transparency, and the responsible use of technology. How is LAC preparing to advance a common agenda that promotes technological complementarity, vocational training, and integrated energy planning?
