According to the report, rise in demand for power is the prime reason behind the growth of the Nuclear Power market in BRIC countries. Population growth along with industrial development is amplifying the power consumption. Power demand from the Residential sector has also increased with respect to a surge in use of consumer electronics such as LED TVs, iPods, air conditioners, and mobile phones.

Destructive nuclear accidents such as Chernobyl and Fukushima had a negative impact on the minds of the public about nuclear energy. It has raised the fundamental question about the safety of operational nuclear reactors worldwide. Many nuclear power plant plans were canceled in China because of the public safety concerns.
Nuclear power in BRIC countries is expected to experience moderate growth during the period 2014-2018. The cumulative installed capacity for nuclear power in BRIC countries was 47.8 GW in 2013, Russia being the leading country among BRIC nations, with cumulative installed capacity of 25.2 GW.
China is expected to have the maximum capacity additions in the forecast period and will be the leading nation in terms of cumulative installed capacity. Rising power demand is the prime reason behind growth of the nuclear power in BRIC countries. Population growth along with industrial development is amplifying the power consumption.
Going forward, nuclear technology has immense potential in the BRIC market due to growing climate change issues, which can be fought with the help of nuclear power generation as it avoids carbon emissions of over two billion tones each year.
