Industry needs to translate nuclear ambitions into reality, panel says: The industry must seize the opportunities arising from a global change in the perception of nuclear energy, a panel session agreed during a side event at the World Energy Congress 2024. However, wide-scale collaboration is needed to ensure the industry can meet the expected growth in demand for nuclear power technology.

Nuclear power has re-emerged as part of our energy debate with the Federal Opposition proposing a coal-to-nuclear transition, reigniting a more than 70-year discussion on whether or not Australia should adopt nuclear power. To help explain this debate, the AEC took a deep dive into the potted history of nuclear energy in Australia. https://lnkd.in/gXzA-hRn

Today's news has been dominated by the unveiling of the federal opposition's plans to build seven nuclear power plants by 2050 should they be elected to power at the next election. There has been extensive debate from both public and private sectors about whether nuclear power should be part of Australia’s future energy mix. This note looks at the arguments for and against the use of nuclear power in Australia and assesses whether nuclear power is a realistic solution to the requirements of Australia’s energy transition. #chasingzero #HSFEnergy #energytransition #nuclear

In light of South Africa’s energy needs and goals of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, the government has decided to reassess nuclear power and is expected to launch a request for proposal in 2024. It may be timely to re-examine the history of the South African nuclear power programme, the only one that has been developed up to date in the African continent. https://ow.ly/iqZk50QZT36

In 2014, nuclear power was dismissed as too expensive, too slow, and generally unpopular. Today, confronted with the dual pressures of climate change and escalating energy demands, leaders worldwide recognize the necessity of diversifying energy solutions. Nuclear energy has emerged as a pragmatic option to enhance energy security and sustainability. The recent passage of the bipartisan ADVANCE Act in the U.S. underscores this shift, reflecting a growing consensus on nuclear energy’s potential. This legislative milestone highlights the public's support for both maintaining existing nuclear plants and constructing new ones, positioning the U.S. to revitalize its nuclear industry, address domestic energy needs, and lead in global clean energy innovation. Do you think the US can lead the way in nuclear energy production?

I have some questions: 1️⃣ Are we "revamping" fission because fusion won’t be commercially viable for decades? Shouldn't we assume that development will be accelerated by the rate-pace of AI, and AI is accelerating faster than we anticipated? 2️⃣ They are usually presented as a progression (fusion is more energy dense): is there a good reason to do them in a sequence? Or are they bound to coexist? Fission is not just a bridge? Will they complement each other? (yes, I asked ChatGPT about it, but I would like to hear the POV of human experts. Thank you)

Italy after 30 years will explore the use of Nuclear Power as a source of clean and environmentally safe energy.
