Concerns over safety, cost and what to do with radioactive waste had sapped enthusiasm for nuclear power.

But now there is widespread talk of a revival fuelled by tech giants Microsoft , Google and Amazon all announcing investments in the sector.

31 countries have agreed to try to triple their use of nuclear power by 2050 , including the UK , France and Japan .

Britain 's first new nuclear power station since the mid-1990s is being built on a stretch of remote coastline in southwest England .

It is meant to be the first of a batch of new plants to replace the country’s ageing reactor fleet.

The project is running some five years behind schedule and will cost up to 9bn ($ 11.5bn ) more than planned.
