⚡ Powered by Nuclear Energy! 🌏 Just 10 countries account for more than 92% of global nuclear power production! 📳 In a world where our reliance on technology is ever-growing, the demand for electricity has never been greater. However, to meet this demand, we are faced with a pressing challenge to lower carbon dioxide emissions. One of the ways to achieve this is nuclear power. 📈 India has taken steps to triple its nuclear power capacity from the current 7,480 megawatts (MW) to 22,480 MW by 2031-32. 🔌 This infographic breaks down nuclear power generation by country, using data from the Power Reactor Information System (PRIS), as of 08 July 2024. #ShareDotMarket #India #stocks #nuclear #powerreactor #power

Nuclear power has never been more alive Nuclear power is undergoing a resurgence, evident in the soaring price of uranium, which has surged by over 80% in the past year. With energy demand projected to skyrocket 86% by 2050, what is society's current perspective on last decades blamed nuclear power? Since 1990, numerous uranium mines have closed, and the stockpiles accumulated during the post-Cold War era have been depleted, making it impossible to meet current demand. The extension of current reactor licenses is underway and this demand is expected to rise further, with 174 new reactors either under construction or planned for construction as of January 2024. Moreover, there is considerable innovation in progress, notably in the development of small modular reactors (SMRs) as a potential solution to reduce the capital costs of nuclear power plants and provide power to small grid systems. However, the principal hurdle remains regulatory barriers, which must be addressed to fully capitalize on the potential of nuclear energy.

“We are doing it to save our planet: nuclear has the lowest carbon use, lowest land use, and lowest impact on ecosystems of any electricity source.” An excellent piece by Tom Greatrex explaining the central role large-scale #nuclear reactors play in providing clean energy. Nuclear power stations in the UK have produced more clean electricity than any other source in the country’s history and will continue to play a central role in the #netzerotransition. GW-scale reactors will be crucial to meeting the UK’s target to have nuclear energy provide 24GW of power to the grid by #2050, as well as providing a secure source of energy and jobs and training opportunities for communities that host nuclear facilities. Read more about how the UK can deliver on its nuclear energy and decarbonisation ambitions below: https://lnkd.in/egcNqp-J

Newly released annual data collected by the IAEA’s Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) paint a picture of a clean energy technology at a crossroads amid the emergence of a new global consensus to accelerate its deployment. In 2023, while new grid connections were made at nuclear power plants in 5 countries, these clean energy gains were offset by reactor shutdowns. Despite this, electricity production from nuclear power rose by 2.6% compared to 2022, according to PRIS, the IAEA’s comprehensive and publicly available database on nuclear power.

Nuclear energy covered more than one-fifth of Europe's electricity generation in 2023. Across Asia, many nuclear power plants are underway, surpassing the efforts of any other continent, driven by the imperative to meet their present and future power demands. Amidst the darkness engulfing over 600 million people in Africa, the continent lags behind in the deployment of nuclear power technology. While Egypt is currently orchestrating the construction of four reactors, Africa must embark on a more ambitious nuclear journey. The quest for baseload energy becomes paramount, a beacon guiding the continent towards industrialization.

Hi Connections! Now I share about Nuclear power plant Nuclear power plants are a type of power plant that use the process of nuclear fission in order to generate electricity. They do this by using nuclear reactors in combination with the Rankine cycle, where the heat generated by the reactor converts water into steam, which spins a turbine and a generator. Nuclear power provides the world with around 11% of its total electricity, with the largest producers being the United States and France.[1] The Darlington nuclear power plant in Ontario produces power from four 878 MW CANDU reactors.[2] Aside from the source of heat, nuclear power plants are very similar to coal-fired power plants. However, they require different safety measures since the use of nuclear fuel has vastly different properties from coal or other fossil fuels. They get their thermal power from splitting the nuclei of atoms in their reactor core, with uranium being the dominant choice of fuel in the world today. Thorium also has potential use in nuclear power production, however it is not currently in use. Below is the basic operation of a boiling water power plant, which shows the many components of a power plant, along with the generation of electricity. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

#Modular ##Nuclear #Power Modular nuclear power refers to a type of nuclear power plant design that consists of smaller, individual reactor units that can be manufactured off-site and then transported to the plant location for assembly. These modular reactors are typically smaller in size compared to traditional nuclear reactors, making them more flexible and easier to deploy. One of the key advantages of modular nuclear power is its scalability. These smaller reactor units can be added or removed based on the energy demand, allowing for more flexibility in power generation. Additionally, modular reactors are designed to be safer, more efficient, and cost-effective compared to traditional large-scale nuclear power plants. These modular nuclear reactors can use various types of fuel, such as uranium, thorium, or even recycled nuclear fuel. They can provide a reliable source of low-carbon energy, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change. Overall, modular nuclear power offers a promising solution for clean and sustainable energy generation, with the potential to meet the growing energy needs of the future. #Himanshu #Dutta

I agree! SMR is the way to go especially for embarking countries. Electricity generated by SMR technology offers measurable economic benefits over electricity generated by conventional nuclear power plants, the preference for the SMR will grow every year. This is likely to accelerate the growth rate of the SMR market.
Small modular reactors are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit, which is about one-third of the generating capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors. SMRs, which can produce a large amount of low-carbon electricity, are: ➡ Small: physically a fraction of the size of a conventional nuclear power reactor. ➡ Modular: making it possible for systems and components to be factory-assembled and transported as a unit to a location for installation. ➡ Reactors: harnessing nuclear fission to generate heat to produce energy. atoms.iaea.org/3vFf0M7
