Did I understand correctly that the US government is pushing for 200x new AP1000 nuclear reactors to be built domestically? 🤩 "To reach our goal of net zero by 2050, we have to at least triple our current nuclear capacity in this country. That means we’ve got to add 200 more gigawatts by 2050. Okay, two down, 198 to go!" - Remarks as Delivered by Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Startup of Vogtle Unit 4 and Growth of U.S. Nuclear Industry. For comparison, there are currently 416 nuclear reactors in operation globally. This is huge!

⚠️ China used US technology & massive government investments to pass the United States in nuclear energy innovation & is rapidly developing 150 new reactors to be deploy by 2035. Experts predict China is 10-15 years ahead in nuclear power. 🇺🇸 must invest in nuclear energy once again or risk being displaced as the global leader in nuclear output, as well as innovation, according to the latest report in the #ChinaInnovationSeries. https://lnkd.in/e-vSfYGt

We are delighted to invite you to join online #webinar on 14 December 2023 at 10:00 - 11:30am UK time and hear how nuclear power could be part of the answer for an increasing number of African countries.   Countries across the African continent are showing increasing interest in adding #nuclearpower to their #energymix. Nuclear power can help to meet #climatechange objectives and satisfy fast growing #energydemand to support #economicdevelopment. During this webinar we bring together key regional nuclear industry representatives to discuss what perspectives nuclear technologies have in this region and what should be done to successfully implement nuclear projects. #energytrasition #Africa #nuclearenergy #decarbonisation #energymix #yestonuclear

Welcome to the new age of Nuclear Energy. The ADVANCE Act, a bill aimed at boosting nuclear energy development in the U.S., has been passed by Congress and is now awaiting President Biden’s signature to become law. The Act seeks to streamline processes for next-generation reactor development, position the US as a leader in the international nuclear market, and help keep aging reactors operational. I can’t wait for nuclear fusion…

Climate change is pushing nuclear power back into popularity and China is clearly leading the way. The U.S. Department of Energy has set a goal to develop and demonstrate advanced nuclear reactor technologies by the mid-2020s. However, the Nuclear Energy Institute estimates that it could take until the 2030s or 2040s for these technologies to be commercially viable. Meanwhile, the European Union aims to produce 25% of its electricity from nuclear power by 2050. But with China's first fourth-generation reactor already operational, the West is clearly playing catch-up due to regulatory hurdles and public skepticism. #nuclearpower #innovation #sustainability #climatechange #climaterisk

The World's Biggest Nuclear Energy Producers In this graphic, we visualized the top producers of nuclear energy by their share of the global total, measured in terawatt hours (TWh). Data for this was sourced from the Nuclear Energy Institute, last updated in August 2022. China has grown its nuclear capacity over the last decade, now ranking second on the list of top nuclear energy producers. 👇📎  (Visual Capitalista) #linkedin #energy #transiciónenergética #nuclear #riesgos #costo #euro #europa #economía  #economy #ceo #networking #mundo #netzero #eficienciaenergetica #competencia #energy #energiaslimpias #impuestos #españa #gestion #materiasprimas  #linkedIn #H2H #Human2Human #InSearchOfExcellence #CapacidadDeAprendizaje

Nuclear electricity is a source of electricity that comes with a high price tag. Experience has shown that for nuclear plants, construction costs and time frames are unpredictable. It is important to note that those pushing for nuclear energy are typically lobbyists who may not have a historical background in nuclear reactors. In fact, 50% of France's nuclear reactors are currently shut down due to maintenance, and the costs of maintenance are so high that the French government is struggling to afford it. As we continue to explore different forms of energy, it is important to consider the potential drawbacks and costs associated with each option.

China recently approved the construction of 6 additional nuclear reactors, cementing its status as the world’s fastest-growing nuclear power producer. Despite only starting to expand nuclear in the mid-1980s, decades later than other major economies, China is expected to have the world’s largest nuclear fleet by 2030. For now, China is the world’s second largest nuclear energy producer behind the US, having overtaken France in 2020. By the end of June 2023, China had an installed capacity of 57GW. For now, this remains behind the 96GW installed in the US. Rize ETF #Nuclear #Electricity #PowerGeneration #CleanTransition

China's nuclear developments China's nuclear energy sector is experiencing significant developments, including a rapid expansion that raises concerns about geopolitical competition and the safety of floating reactors. Over the past decade, China has added 37 nuclear reactors, reaching a total of 55, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. This growth is part of China's broader ambition to increase its influence in the global nuclear energy market.
