Jonathan Cobb

Dr Jonathan Cobb is lead author of the World Nuclear Outlook Report. The report examines trends in nuclear construction and electricity generation, provides a comprehensive survey of government targets for nuclear capacity and their implications for 2050, and assesses countries’ readiness to achieve their national nuclear ambitions. It also assesses progress towards the global goal of tripling nuclear capacity by 2050, endorsed by 39 countries through the Declaration to Triple Nuclear Energy.

Dr Cobb has worked in the nuclear energy industry for more than 30 years. He began his career in research and development at BNFL’s Sellafield site, before moving into marketing, competitive intelligence and corporate strategy.

Since joining World Nuclear Association in 2006, he has worked across communications, media and policy analysis, focusing on how nuclear energy can mitigate climate change and meet growing global demand for clean, secure energy.
