Efficiency in delivering new nuclear reactors (less than 80 months for construction) is key to enable funding of programs at competitive cost. Design maturity and completion, modularity, construction methods and comprehensive use of digital (document to data) are key success factors to be considered and developed.

Decarbonizing heat and power generation while enabling economic growth is one of the key questions in all regions today. While our research shows that the number of advanced nuclear technology initiatives has increased the most in North America and Europe (~90% and ~70% increase between 2021 and 2023, respectively), developments in China are also promising. China has been a key driver of global nuclear generation capacity development over the past decade. Although there is still a long way to go, with coal continuing to account for around 60% of China's electricity generation, China has set ambitious targets for the role of nuclear power in its energy mix. Their recent commissioning of the world’s first Gen IV nuclear reactor, built with 90% domestic parts, is years ahead of Western OEMs. In addition, China's ambitions to build over 100 additional reactors could make it one of the largest nuclear power producers globally. Read the first of our two-part report on China's nuclear energy goals for more insights and what the West can learn from China’s progress in this space.

Nuclear Energy: While nuclear energy remains a crucial part of Europe’s energy mix, challenges and changes persist. Countries continue to balance safety, environmental concerns, and energy security in their nuclear policies. https://lnkd.in/e3_cmrRN

The Nuclear Company to Build Fleet-Scale Nuclear Power Plants in the U.S. Learn more & get our take 👇 https://lnkd.in/gdvkHk59 "The Nuclear Company is working towards solving America’s surging energy demand by redefining how large-scale, nuclear infrastructure projects are delivered. We recognize the challenges facing our industry, where one-off nuclear projects historically go over budget and run behind schedule. Our unique approach integrates proven technology with unparalleled collaboration among diverse organizations, ensuring that fleet-scale projects are executed on-time and on-budget." — Juliann Edwards, Chief Development Officer at The Nuclear Company and Chair of U.S. Women at Nuclear "The success or failure of the U.S. economy will be determined by our ability to power its innovations. Nuclear power is the cornerstone of that endeavor. The Nuclear Company’s business model is designed to solve the problems that have constrained the country’s nuclear potential. The Nuclear Company aims to reposition the U.S. as a paradigm of clean energy advances that will set the standard for the industry." — Patrick Maloney, Co-founder and Chair at The Nuclear Company #nuclear #powerplant #SoENews

Fuel cycle players explore opportunities and challenges at WNFC 2024: Meeting pledges to triple nuclear capacity by 2050 will mean opportunities for all stages of the nuclear supply chain. These opportunities - and associated challenges - were widely discussed at the World Nuclear Fuel Cycle 2024 conference which took place in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Strong commitments by the UK as they move forward with a strategy to achieve 25pct share of nuclear. ULC-Energy welcomes the long term and strategic approch taken by Great Brittan. Nuclear energy can play an important role in future low carbon energy systems as part of a broader mix of technology solutions. https://lnkd.in/eyz8myiP

Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp provides insights to KBTX Media as to why they joined TNA and why he thinks the future looks bright for nuclear in Texas. "If you want to have in the future low carbon, sustainable, reliable energy, there's only one answer and that's nuclear power. Texas is already the world leader in energy. We need to be the leader in nuclear power. And A&M wants to be a part of that." Click below to watch the full interview.

Nuclear energy has been a contentious topic for some time now, but as the case for nuclear's role in reducing the use of fossil fuels and enhancing energy security becomes increasingly clear, more EU leaders are recognising its necessity for a cleaner future. This was evident as the first-ever Nuclear Energy Summit was held in Brussels in March, where 30 global leaders met to promote nuclear energy! Moving forward, bridging the gap between proponents and opponents of nuclear power will require thoughtful dialogue, evidence-based policymaking, and a holistic approach to energy security and sustainability. The greater the awareness of nuclear energy's power in addressing our energy challenges, the sooner we can move the needle. This is why I highly encourage you all to watch Oliver Stone's groundbreaking documentary that I am Executive Producer of, "Nuclear Now" to better understand its true potential. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dukB8sC9 #NuclearEnergy #EnergySecurity #Decarbonisation
