AtkinsRéalis has entered into an MOU with AECL, a Canadian federal Crown corporation, to collaborate on successfully deploying CANDU® reactors in Canada and internationally. This agreement will accelerate the development of the CANDU reactor technology AtkinsRéalis is proud to steward; the only home-grown Canadian power reactor technology. This includes for our new 1,000 MW CANDU MONARK™, at a critical time during the energy transition. We estimate there is a new build market for over 1,000 reactors globally.   This from Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources: “Made-in-Canada CANDU technology is a national and strategic asset that has provided reliable, non-emitting power and high-quality jobs to communities across Canada for decades. Canada’s expertise will ensure that we remain a safe and reliable partner for the peaceful use of nuclear energy throughout the global energy transition while also supporting significant economic opportunities for workers.”  Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gS8g4F6M   #NetZeroNeedsNuclear 

Reliable always on power. Nuclear is a super critical part of an all of the above solution to climate change. (Pun intended)

Best invest in Building and talking about Fusion power, space, and maritime propulsion systems and industry as data centres are. You talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising innovative sustainable and clean energy method. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real,

“The IRP 2019 emphasises implementing the nuclear programme at a pace and scale affordable for the country, a principle likely to be followed in the proposed 14 500MW additional new nuclear reactors outlined in IRP 2023,“ Mthombeni said. She added that it was crucial with the RFP for South Africa to acquire country-specific cost data and to consider numerous factors in technology selection, such as whether it was off-the-shelf or first-of-a-kind, the megawatt capacity per reactor unit and construction time lines, including the discount rate, among others.

The four Power Units of CATTENOM Nuclear Power Plant (France) are each equipped with a 1362 MWe Pressurized Water Reactor - PWR (Gross Electrical Capacity) / 4 Loops Model (Primary System).

Another step along the way towards net zero as well as security of supply of electricity

One of the comments mentioned: "As the governor said, we’re looking forward to Vogtle FIVE!"{Emphasis added] Some Thoughts: (1) Plant Vogtle is already the LARGEST Generator of CLEAN Energy in the U.S. (2) Depending upon "WHEN" the decision to build Vogtle Unit 5 is made (Shorter the GAP seems should be more Advantageous), the following important Benefits should be viewed as "Low-hanging Fruit".! - Standard Design (Successfully Operating AP1000s) - Supply-Chain - Experienced Craftsmen - More Efficient Construction - Lower Risks All the above should result in relatively "Lower" COST and "Shorter" Project/Construction SCHEDULE.! Btw: Potential Future Vogtle Site could look like.! Vogtle 1&2(PWR)+Vogtle 3&4(AP1000)+Vogtle 5(REPLICATED AP1000) [ COST=$8.9B ] [ COST =$36.85B ] [ Must be "Cost-competitive"] [ COD=1987-89] [COD=2023-24 ] [ ON-Bugdet & ON-Schedule] Many UNIQUE Issues! <---------------Lower NORMALIZED $/KWe & $/MWhr----------------> #DATABASE (1970-2024)  

To develop lasting solutions for SMR’s, strong partnerships need to be created and developed. My full respect to OPG for developing a Nuclear Supply Chain to meet the needs of this growing market.

France has introduced a new energy strategy that sees the development of up to 14 nuclear power plants to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Read more: https://hubs.ly/Q02g62cP0 The proposed draft law targets the construction of at least six new European Pressurized Reactors, while an additional eight reactors may be optioned to meet the country’s goal of reducing fossil fuel dependency from 60% to 40% by 2035. #ECPNews #renewableenergy #powerplant
