The team at the International Centre for Environmental and Nuclear Sciences (ICENS) is in full support of the move to explore nuclear energy generation but only as small nuclear reactors.
Section head of the Nuclear Analytic Laboratory at ICENS at The University of the West Indies, Mona, Johann Antoine, expressed optimism for the new venture which he says is incumbent on ICENS to help.
"Wherever we can support the process, we absolutely will," said Antoine in an exclusive interview with the Jamaica Observer.
