All GABI past and future events
Nuclear technologies have become a significant focus of attention as a solution to global energy concerns. The US has made significant policy changes to support the development of nuclear reactors as a strategy to improve energy security, energy equity, and energy sustainability. A study in the US showed that to achieve the deep emissions reductions
Highly enriched uranium (HEU), a core component of nuclear weapons, has been used for decades to power research reactors, produce medical isotopes and fuel naval submarines. Today, with a few exceptions, technical developments have made it possible to replace HEU with LEU in nearly all current uses and have rendered future new civil uses of
The unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by Russia has created significant impacts in the global nuclear fuel market because Russia was a major fuel supplier. Now, nations are looking to remove their dependence from Russian nuclear fuel and lock the Russians out of the global fuel market with policy action. However, given the lack of conversion
The vision statement of the Macro Grid Initiative is to expand and upgrade the nation’s transmission network to deliver jobs and economic development, a cleaner environment, and lower costs for consumers. This vision is focused around a high voltage DC system that would connect the Western and Eastern interconnects. Transmission expands access to lower-cost domestic
The Russia-Ukraine war has created an energy crisis in Europe, particularly due to the overdependence from Europe on Russian energy supplies. As a result, energy considerations in the world now have shifted from power production towards considerations of clean energy and energy security. Nuclear can play a significant role in mitigating the energy crisis. Engagements
August 22-25, 2022, GABI organized high-level private workshop among a multinational group of experts (US-Korea-Japan-Canada) to discuss the rapidly changing landscape of the global nuclear industry and opportunities for Allied nations to enter into a new nuclear renaissance. Many nations have re-evaluated the priority of energy security and are increasingly looking for democratic allies that
21st century challenges will require international cooperation and security alliances as climate change is a global problem that extends beyond borders. Achieving net-zero emissions will require more than double the generation of electricity, and the scale of this challenge will require significant contributions from new nuclear power. SMR deployment will be a crucial aspect to
In a global energy industry driven by clean energy and emissions goals, there are a number of pathways that can be taken to address climate change. Among these pathways include climate forward energy efficiency and vehicle electrification. Climate forward energy efficiency focuses on lowering the energy demand through energy efficiency strategies to increase the number
President Biden’s visit to Asia represented a significant government level interest in cooperating with allied nations in Asia on the topics of clean energy partnership and cooperation. While the cost of nuclear technologies is relatively high, the cost of national security and energy security imperatives through nuclear energy are even higher. Given the current market
