At present, dialogue on nuclear technology in Washington, DC has tended to focus on issues related to nuclear materials security, nonproliferation, and arms control issues, rather than nuclear power. As a result, the policy community in Washington tends view nuclear power technologies with some skepticism. Given this environment, it is GABI’s commitment to promote, educate, and enhance the understanding of the vital role of nuclear power from the perspective of ensuring energy security, reliability and sustainability.
Diving Into Data Center Demand
Data centers and AI represent a significant portion of the growing energy demand, and the power needs of data centers in the US exceed power needs of some nations. Nuclear power provides a unique synergistic opportunity for the data center energy needs. This program discussed the energy demands for data centers, energy demand forecasts for
Elevating International Nuclear Collaboration
The United States has a number of international nuclear collaborations including efforts in Ukraine as well as South Korea. The United States and Ukraine are collaborating on workforce development. Clean Energy Training Centers have been established to provide regional workforce training. Joint initiatives include curriculum development, educational exchanges, and cooperative agreements supported by the U.S.
Strategic Pathways to Nuclear Leadership Through International Collaboration
With the market demand signal for new nuclear builds resulting from COP28 nuclear pledges, the global nuclear market is preparing for a significant capacity demand for new nuclear export projects. Currently, Russia dominates the global nuclear export business, and China is expected to follow closely given their rapid domestic capacity expansion and supply chain efforts.
Domestic and International Ambitions in Nuclear Energy
The Science, Space and Technology Committee in the House has focused heavily on a number of energy and nuclear focused activities to support the US nuclear industry domestically. There are a number of nuclear supportive legislations that have resulted from this committee including the legislation to support the Advanced Reactor Deployment Program (ARDP). The opportunities
What to Expect at COP29
At COP29, the US is looking to engage in negotiations while also looking for pathways to implement the actions agreed to in the negotiations. These negotiations will cover a wide array of topics including deforestation, energy, human rights, and more. Azerbaijan is the host for COP29. Azerbaijan is a fossil fuel nation, and in the
2024 Multilateral Nuclear Energy Dialogue: Advancing Nuclear Frontiers – Empowering the Future through Collaboration and Innovation
August 19-22, 2024, GABI and the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) organized a high-level private multilateral workshop among nuclear experts from the US, South Korea, Japan, and Canada to discuss opportunities for international collaboration in exports, innovation, and more.
Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Nuclear Energy
There are a number of challenges facing the nuclear industry when it comes to rapidly deploying nuclear energy technologies to meet growing energy needs. Artificial Intelligence has progressed to a point where it can provide significant benefits to the nuclear industry particularly in streamlining the time and resources necessary to perform certain functions such as
Global Nuclear Leadership: Strengthening Security through International Collaboration
Nuclear energy and power were previously considered in the context of a commodity that could be bought, sold, and traded on the global market. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has accelerated the attention and focus on developing nuclear energy solutions around the world to meet energy needs, as it represents a significant security value
