On Industry Insight, Trung Ghi, Partner and Head of Energy & Utilities Practice at Arthur D. Little, explains why SMRs are gaining traction across Southeast Asia, how new technologies like AI and 3D printing are reshaping nuclear’s future, and why Singapore can still play a leadership role in policy and safety without building a reactor.
