NextEra Energy, Inc.’s Post

The Gone Fission Nuclear Report travels to the nation’s capital this week to join a national conversation on next steps for identifying a community to host interim spent fuel storage from America’s nuclear power plants. Our podcast sponsor, the Energy Communities Alliance, convened a meeting of elected officials, community leaders, economic developers and Department of Energy officials to discuss what kind of incentives a community will need--and what kind of economic benefits can accrue--from volunteering to host an interim storage facility. This is an important topic as the U.S. finds itself on the brink of a nuclear renaissance that will increase the role of nuclear energy in meeting our national energy needs. Is your community interested in exploring safe spent fuel storage as an economic driver? Raise your hand.

The G7 nations have committed to support the use of nuclear energy in countries that opt for its use, as part of their broader efforts to address climate change and transition to clean energy. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ehcmifJB #NEI #nuclearpower #nuclearenergy #energytransition

This headline article is copied from the US DOE, but I post it here as it provides important facts on some of the possible advantages of transitioning from coal to nuclear. It is not beyond reason that this approach could be applied here in Australia, if not for the ARPANS Act.

Regarding the future of nuclear power generation, the NRC stated that they expected to see no fewer than 25 license applications for SMR and advanced reactors by 2029. No comment was made on the current product cycle (from approval to power generation), but the SMR industry continually focuses on a much shorter time-to-market than current nuclear power generation stations, when the SMRs are being manufactured as planned. Estimates are for a potential 90 GW of energy generation with the average SMR being a 200 MW unit.

Fossil fuels are not sustainable and it's time for a change sooner rather than later so the big debate is renewables and/or nuclear. The thing that is obvious from our poll is that not enough of the country is informed enough to make a decision. It will be interesting to see how we vote in the next election based on this topic. #nuclearpower #nuclearenergy #cleanenergy #reneableenergy #climatechange
