Today, NuPEA staff held their 2nd quarterly staff meeting. The CEO, Mr. Justus Wabuyabo reminded the staff members on the importance of teamwork, cohesion, and dedication that will play a key role in the realization of the agency's mandate.
Nuclear power isn't considered renewable energy, given its dependence on a mined, finite resource, but because operating reactors do not emit the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming, it shld be considered a climate change solution.
