The 21st century is already a quarter spent. The sustainable development goals (SDGs) set up by the United Nations (UN) pose similar development indices as the earlier Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). It is a right saturation point where economic development and the need to maintain the sustainable development goals set by the UN can be examined effectively for the development of energy requirements. With this view on hand, the developmental agenda from across all the sectors of human development are looking for the introduction of sustainability. In the quest to maintain sustainable development, many countries are trying their hands at nuclear power development. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate some of the economic aspects of nuclear energy based on which different States are looking into nuclear energy sustainability.
