國際原子能總署定期向聯合國大會提交年度報告,評估全球核能發展與核武管制現況。
(中央社紐約聯合國總部23日綜合外電報導)國際原子能總署(IAEA)署長葛羅西(Rafael Grossi)今天表示,預計到2060年,全球核電裝置容量可能增至目前的3倍以上,主要驅動力來自電氣化趨勢、人工智慧(AI)資料中心用電,以及科技企業對穩定、無碳電力的需求。
美聯社報導,葛羅西在向聯合國大會提交的國際原子能總署年度報告中指出,愈來愈多國家將核能視為提升能源安全的重要途徑。他也強調,核能的重要性不亞於太陽能,而且「比所有其他選項更加安全」。
葛羅西說,「2025年,超過30個國家的400多座運轉中反應爐供應了全球10%的電力,以及全球1/4的低碳電力」,目前有60多座新反應爐正在興建,對未來核能發電設施總容量的預測也已大幅上修。
除了核能和平用途日益擴大,葛羅西也談到伊朗與北韓的核計畫、俄烏戰爭帶來的「前所未見核安全威脅」,以及有報告指出,未具名國家正討論如何取得核武。
談到伊朗時,葛羅西指出,美國去年曾攻擊伊朗核設施,之後美國與以色列於2月28日發動戰爭。他告訴聯合國會員國,達成外交協議所需的技術準備工作已經完成。
他說:「我呼籲各方加倍努力,達成外交解決方案,並納入國際原子能總署不可或缺的查核機制,否則任何協議都無法持久。國際原子能總署的查核人員必須儘快返回伊朗,這需要各方重返談判桌。」
至於北韓,葛羅西警告,北韓的情況「清楚提醒世人,一旦有人逾越紅線,將會造成什麼後果」。聯合國安理會決議禁止北韓製造核武。
談到烏克蘭時,葛羅西特別提及歐洲最大的札波羅熱核電廠(Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant)。他指出電廠目前仍「岌岌可危」,不僅經常失去外部電力供應,備用柴油供應也有限,軍事活動也持續威脅電廠及廠內員工。
另一方面,葛羅西表示,IAEA與敘利亞總統夏拉(Ahmad al-Sharaa)領導的政府接觸後,已在釐清並解決近20年來敘國核活動相關問題方面取得「重大進展」。

China's first regional power market, the Southern Regional Power Market, entered official operation on October 24, marking a major breakthrough in the construction of China's unified power market system. The market covers the five southern provinces and regions of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hainan, and the transaction scale continues to expand.

Data from China's National Energy Administration shows that in the first three quarters of 2026, electricity consumption across the country increased by 3.9%, but domestic electricity consumption by urban and rural residents fell by 0.3% year-on-year, marking the first negative growth in the same period in the past decade. Experts analyze that this is mainly affected by the reduction in demand for cooling electricity caused by extreme weather, and the mid- and long-term growth expectations remain unchanged.

Indonesia has cut natural gas exports to Singapore by 31 million standard cubic feet per day to prioritize domestic electricity demand, amidst regional tensions.

Typhoon Qiangbi hit Taiwan, causing power outages to more than 20,000 households in Changhua County. With 290 electricians and 63 vehicles working around the clock to repair the problem, the power restoration rate has reached 97%, and less than 600 households are still undergoing repairs.

The Iran war has severely damaged Qatar's natural gas production and exports. On the 22nd, Qatar Energy Company signed an agreement with Chenier Energy Company of the United States to purchase 4 million tons of LNG every year until 2054, highlighting the reshuffling of the global energy market due to geopolitical conflicts.

Taiwan's PetroChina announced that starting from 0:00 a.m. on the 26th, gasoline and diesel prices will remain unchanged. In response to the continued surge in international oil prices, China National Petroleum Corporation has launched a stabilization mechanism and expanded its absorption. So far, it has absorbed more than 30 billion yuan to take care of domestic people's livelihood and stabilize prices.
