We are writing to express our deep concern and strong opposition to the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) consideration of support for nuclear energy in its latest energy policy review. This abrupt reversal raises troubling questions about external pressures and corporate lobbying shaping ADB’s energy policy. In the recent energy policy review, ADB proposes technical support for “capacity development” if Developing Member Countries (DMCs) opt for nuclear power. Nuclear energy carries hazards such as radioactive waste, fissile material exposure, and catastrophic accident potential that require robust oversight. India’s experience with nuclear underscores why Multilateral Development Banks like ADB must not encourage nuclear energy.
