Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offer a reliable solution as part of the UK’s clean energy mix. They can also provide an opportunity to drive regional growth and act as a catalyst for regeneration. However, key to their implementation will be working with local communities so they feel they can benefit in terms of job creation and local supply chains. #engagement #community #nuclearenergy

Advanced nuclear takes center stage in clean energy progress. Oklo and Switch’s agreement to deploy 12 GW of advanced nuclear powerhouses through 2044 marks a significant step for energy innovation. The collaboration demonstrates how advanced nuclear can meet the tech sector’s growing energy demands while supporting sustainability goals. What role do you see nuclear playing in powering the future of technology? #NuclearEnergy #DataCenters #CleanEnergy #EnergyInnovation #Sustainability 🔗 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eiaiTT8m

Have you read our latest news article, ‘Why Sizewell C is Critical for the UK’s Net Zero Target’? In this article, we delve into the vital role Sizewell C will play in helping the UK achieve its net zero ambitions by 2050. As older nuclear plants retire, the demand for reliable, low-carbon energy sources is greater than ever. Sizewell C will generate 3.2GW of clean energy, enough to power 6 million homes, while significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Beyond its environmental impact, the project will create thousands of skilled jobs and strengthen the UK’s nuclear supply chain.

With all the discussion about energy demand and the mix of energy sources needed for our future, we thought unpacking nuclear was a good idea. I learned a lot from this story that I truly didn’t know! It was also good timing given the energy white paper released by the Ontario government yesterday and their plans for nuclear energy. #energy #energymix #energytransformation #nuclear

Have a look at this insightful piece on the transformative potential of #SMRs for the UK’s clean energy landscape. SMRs offer a combination of flexibility, scalability, and reliability to help deliver secure, low-carbon energy, and revolutionise how we meet increased energy demands. With Great British Nuclear working with shortlisted developers, SMRs are ever closer to coming online, providing an accelerated path to tripling nuclear capacity and achieving #netzero.

Day 3 of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) first SMR Conference. (https://lnkd.in/dvEzdcY6) If you are in the conference area welcome during the poster session at 10:15am-10:45am to discuss the opportunities in the development finance institutions’s (DFI) financing framework in nuclear deployment. One of the outcomes of COP28 was recognition of the role of nuclear energy generation in climate change. There was also a call to DFIs to reconsider their longterm policy on nuclear power plants in order to leverage the potential of nuclear energy to mitigate climate change. With a focus on social acceptability for nuclear power plants and meeting the financial challenges of investment in nuclear power projects, the paper co-authored together with Brian Nyawinda discusses how the strong environmental and social safeguards of these DFIs are important for deployment of #nuclear power plants. https://lnkd.in/dFUS4fUe
