Sizewell C nuclear site licence marks a hugely important step for UK clean power and energy security 👏 The Nuclear Industry Association's Tom Greatrex has welcomed the Office for Nuclear Regulation's decision to grant Sizewell C a nuclear site licence and marks yet another milestone for what will be the country's greenest and most powerful clean energy project alongside Hinkley Point C. https://lnkd.in/eK_kYC2P #nuclear #netzeroneedsnuclear

☢ Nuclear Revival A new deal between the Constellation Energy and Microsoft was the catalyst for the re-opening of the Three Mile Island nuclear facility in the United States. This should bring front and center the potential of decommissioned nuclear plants as clean energy providers for power-hungry industries in the age of AI. We remain bullish on nuclear energy.

As the world grapples with the urgent need for sustainable and reliable energy sources, nuclear power has emerged as a crucial contender. Despite its potential to address climate change and meet growing energy demands, nuclear energy often falls victim to misconceptions and myths. In this guide, we aim to debunk the top five myths surrounding the nuclear industry, providing clarity for those considering nuclear energy as a viable and responsible power source.

The article, written by Idaho National Laboratory Director John Wagner, emphasizes the urgent need for near-term nuclear deployment to meet growing global energy demands and enhance national security. Public and political support for nuclear energy is rising, with bipartisan backing and recent legislative actions. The U.S. is on the brink of significant advancements, driven by projects like the Vogtle Units and the Natrium reactor, and international efforts to triple global nuclear capacity by 2050. Overcoming the inertia of the past decades is crucial, requiring rapid design, development, and deployment of new reactors. This will address climate change, infrastructure security, and surging electricity demand, contributing positively to the global nuclear landscape. Companies like Nano Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) are essential in driving the next wave of nuclear innovation. Specializing in mobile microreactors and small modular reactors (SMRs), they offer scalable and flexible solutions that can be rapidly deployed to meet growing energy demands. Nano Nuclear Energy’s advanced reactors provide a reliable power source that complements renewable energy, enhancing grid stability and supporting global decarbonization efforts. Their innovative approach not only advances nuclear technology from theory to practical application but also plays a significant role in economic growth, environmental sustainability, and ensuring a secure and diversified global energy supply. This contributes to meeting international energy goals and fostering collaboration across nations in the pursuit of cleaner energy solutions. #nuclear #energy #nuclearpower #nuclearinnovation #nuclearindustry #cleanenergy #idaho #idahonationallaboratory #doe #unitedstates #industry #nasdaq #nne

The global nuclear landscape is undergoing a significant transformation. With countries like China, India, UK expanding their nuclear power capacities, it's evident that this clean energy source is gaining momentum. As a professional in the nuclear industry, I'm intrigued by the potential for innovation within this sector and proud to be part of Canada's contribution to this clean energy source. #nuclearpower #cleanenergy #brucepower #innorvation

Invest in Building Fusion energy, space and maritime propulsion systems, Your talk is Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fails 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 news is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fission fuel shortage is increasingly real, as linked below. https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

Yesterday I shared concerns about too-slow SMR deployment at a NASEO - National Association of State Energy Officials energy security bootcamp. Recently John Wagner, the director of my lab, fully articulated the need for speed: ➡ "The only way we will get better at developing and deploying nuclear power plants is by doing it. We need to build. And with every new plant, we will learn. We will evolve. We will build reactors that are more economical and come online faster. We need to approach this with a sense of urgency. Even with extensions on the licenses of our current reactor fleet, time is short. We need rapid deployment to power our grid, clean transportation, manufacturing, and industrial applications." Some say we don't need nuclear to support a clean firm baseload (I don't believe that's a defensible position). Some say it's been too expensive in the past (and they are quite right). But countries around the world and companies in the US are imploring us to go faster. As a smart, senior member of DOE's Office of Policy shared yesterday, to meet rising demand, we've gone fast in the past and we'll do it again. I hope she's right, and not just for nuclear, but for transmission, wind/solar/storage, and all of it designed to operate in temperature regimes warmer or far warmer than we've ever experienced. Nuclear, even new nuclear if it can be built more affordably, will always cost more than renewables. But in the future, when as NERC keeps warning us, blackouts and brownouts are longer and more common, we will begin to put a dollar value on resilience. And that's going to make a big difference in how we look at nuclear IMHO. We will build it and be glad we did.

🚨 Nuclear Industry News 🚨 The world of big fusion has seen significant updates this month. Key projects like the National Ignition Facility (NIF), JT-60SA, JET, and ITER are making strides in fusion research. NIF, for instance, has achieved record-breaking fusion ignition, while the JT-60SA, JET, and ITER continue to advance our understanding and capabilities in this transformative energy source. These developments not only highlight the technological progress in fusion energy but also the increasing international collaboration in pursuing a clean and abundant energy source for the future. Take a look at more developments happening across the nuclear industry. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eXvz4cyH #nuclear #nuclearpower #nuclearindustry 📸: Nuclear Newswire
