#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

Small modular reactors (SMRs) have a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit. Many SMRs, which can be factory-assembled and transported to a location for installation, are envisioned for markets such as industrial applications or remote areas with limited grid capacity. (Image: A. Vargas/IAEA) Small modular reactors (SMRs) 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: S-Small – physically a fraction of the size of a conventional nuclear power reactor. M-Modular – making it possible for systems and components to be factory-assembled and transported as a unit to a location for installation. R-Reactors – harnessing nuclear fission to generate heat to produce energy.

We believe that nuclear power is necessary for a sustainable future because it is reliable and clean. That is why we are excited by technical advances such as the TerraPower project in Wyoming, USA. In June, Bill Gates, Chairman of TerraPower, announced the construction of their innovative Natrium™ reactor, a small modular reactor (SMR) that will begin delivering electricity to the grid by 2030. This advanced nuclear power plant will be operated with High Assay Low Enriched Uranium (HALEU). TerraPower says its Natrium™ reactor and energy storage system redefines what nuclear technology can be – emission-free, competitive and flexible. The innovative nuclear power plant is also said to offer a very high level of operational safety. The integrated energy storage and power generation systems are completely separated from the nuclear part of the plant. This concept allows the non-nuclear project teams to operate important plant functions such as steam turbines and brine tanks outside the nuclear control area. We at ETC are enthusiastic about these innovations. This is a win-win for the entire nuclear industry and the global transition to low-carbon energy. 🌱💡 Source: TerraPower #SMR #LowCarbonEnergy #HALEU

https://lnkd.in/eisDiqmd KEY FACTS ~ Canada is the second largest producer and fourth exporter of uranium in the world, with 13% of global production in 2019. ~Nuclear power generation accounted for approximately 15% of Canada's electricity in 2018. ~Nuclear power is a source of energy that does not emit greenhouse gases. ~ In 2019, 75% of Canada's uranium production was exported for use in nuclear power throughout the world. Canada has developed a unique nuclear reactor technology, CANDU; there are 18 CANDU reactors in Ontario, 1 in New Brunswick and 10 in operation outside of Canada.

TUBACEX representatives from our Power Gen division attended the prestigious Westinghouse Electric Company´s Global Supplier Symposium in #Pittsburgh, PA. After participating in various Westinghouse events across Europe, we were honored to be invited to their headquarters in the USA, reinforcing our position as a strategic supplier in the #nuclear energy sector. Our participation in the symposium provided invaluable access to the latest insights on Westinghouse’s organizational developments, key stakeholders, and upcoming projects. Key topics included: - CEO Patrick Fragman’s insight that nuclear capacity is projected to triple by 2050. - 50% of the world's nuclear power plants use Westinghouse designs. - Europe's energy challenges, shifting away from coal, and moving towards reliable energy sources like nuclear. We are proud to contribute to these advanced nuclear solutions, supporting the global #energytransition. #NuclearEnergy #PowerGen #energysecurity

“MSRs can help improve the sustainability of nuclear power, including by contributing to the minimization of nuclear waste, and enhance proliferation resistance,” said Kailash Agarwal, an IAEA Fuel Cycle Facilities Specialist. “MSRs, particularly those powered by fuel composed of U-233 and thorium salts, can also assist in conserving natural uranium resources.” Lift our nuclear bans in Australia and we could help in the research and development of next generation safe, clean, reliable and cost effective thorium molten salt reactors for the people of the world. Be part of the future not the past.

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.

Why is #NuclearEnergy so reliable? 💪 1. Constant Power Output ⏰: Nuclear power plants produce a steady and predictable output of electricity. This is because they do not depend on weather conditions and can operate 24/7, typically running for 18 to 24 months before needing to shut down for refueling. 2. High Capacity Factor 🔋: Nuclear power plants generally have a high capacity factor, which is the ratio of the actual energy produced over a period of time to the amount of energy the plant would have produced at full capacity. Nuclear plants often have capacity factors above 90%, which is higher than other forms of energy production. 3. Large Scale Energy Production 💡: A single nuclear reactor can generate a significant amount of electricity, often 1 gigawatt or more, which is enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes. 4. Long Fuel Cycle 🔁: Nuclear reactors use enriched uranium as fuel, which lasts much longer than the fuels used for other types of power generation. This long fuel cycle means that nuclear plants can operate for longer periods before needing to refuel, contributing to their reliability.
