Overview

Nuclear energy is no longer the exclusive domain of superpowers. Across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and developing Europe, a new generation of nations is awakening to a powerful truth: nuclear power is a tool of sovereignty, industrialization, and climate justice-not just a relic of the Cold War. But the path is perilous. From Chernobyl's secrecy to Fukushima's regulatory capture, from cost overruns in Europe to proliferation fears worldwide, the nuclear past is littered with cautionary tales. Emerging economies cannot afford to repeat these mistakes. In Nuclear Futures for Emerging Economies, energy strategist Frank Bilhiri delivers a globally scalable, locally grounded blueprint for building nuclear programs that are safe, sovereign, and sustainable. Drawing on lessons from global failures and quiet successes-from the UAE's transparent rollout to Bangladesh's community-first approach-this book offers a practical governance framework tailored for nations that value institutional integrity, public trust, and financial prudence. You'll discover: The Triple-Lock Framework: Three non-negotiable pillars-Safety, Sovereignty, and Sustainability-that every program must satisfy. How to secure social license across diverse cultural landscapes-from traditional African councils to Buddhist ethics in Southeast Asia. Debt-trap-proof financing models, including SMR-as-a-Service and blended capital structures. A phased 25-year roadmap to go from policy vision to clean megawatts-without skipping institutional foundations. Strategies to embed security, non-proliferation, and cyber-resilience from day one. Written for policymakers, energy ministers, investors, and civil society leaders, this concise 64-page guide cuts through ideology and offers actionable wisdom for a just nuclear future. The 21st-century nuclear renaissance will not be led from Washington or Moscow-but from Accra, Hanoi, Bogotá, and Bucharest. This is their playbook. Perfect for: National energy ministries IAEA, World Bank, and AfDB technical teams Clean energy investors and ESG funds University policy programs Regional bodies (African Union, ASEAN, ECOWAS)
