Giving the background to holding the Webinar and the upcoming exhibition and conference, the announcement said, "Today, nuclear energy produces one-sixth of the world's electricity and could produce far more. Recognizing this potential, India and China, have begun major expansions of nuclear energy infrastructure. Exponential growth in energy demand coupled with a finite availability of coal, oil, and gas has led to d renewed emphasis on nuclear energy. Moreover, nuclear energy is considered to be an environmentally benign source of energy. Only nuclear energy offers emissions-free energy on the massive and expanding scale the world so urgently requires.

"Looking at the importance of nuclear energy to effectively bridge the energy gap, UBM !ndia is pleased to announce India Nuclear Energy 2009 - International Exhibition and Conference from 13th -15th November 2009 of Mumbai."
