Pitch
Nuclear capabilities will advance with latest technologies like 3D printing & cheaper technology to extract nuclear fuel.
Description
Make life easier/more difficult for Singapore?
More difficult
Describe the change
Nuclear technologies will become accessible to even common people and smaller nations. With develoments like 3D printing nuclear reactors, smaller unstable nations may pose threat to Singapore which is an island nation exposed from all sides.
Uncontrolled nuclear tests conducted illegal is a matter of grave concern the nuclear arms race will intensify with all countries becoming hungry for power as the fossil fuels will soon deplete.
There will be uncertainty in the minds of people as anything unfortunate can happen anytime, as someone said rightly "With great power great responsibilities".

How will this change impact Smart Nation Singapore in 2030?
Nuclear technologies becoming accessible to everyone and in the hands on nations which don't even have a stable government and administrative in place is a matter of great concern. Singapore will have to develop counter technologies to combat this menace to safeguard its land and people.
