International reaction regarding domestic nuclear programs is mixed, with some countries calling for temporary halts to new construction pending assessments of existing facilities.

Demand for radium, an element often found with uranium, was the initial driver. Radium was used in the treatment of cancer.

Prior to the program, nuclear research had been primarily focused on weapons. And electricity was mainly fuelled by coal.

Nuclear-generated electricity is a different value proposition than “conventional” methods. The expense is largely up front.
