Currently, access to fast spectrum irradiation capabilities for general purposes is very limited; at present, Russia is the only country that possesses fast neutron testing capabilities. Thus, the development of a fast neutron testing facility is important for the U.S. to maintain its global nuclear technology leadership. In accordance with the Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities

In collaboration with the Foundation for Nuclear Studies (FNS), GABI hosted a Capitol Hill briefing on global nuclear power markets on January 24, 2018. Despite growing support for advanced nuclear development in the U.S., global nuclear power is presently poised to be dominated by Russia and China—both in conventional LWR new build and advanced nuclear

The U.S. and the Republic of Korea have had a long history of nuclear energy cooperation, dating back to when the U.S. built Korea's first commercial reactors in 1978. This relationship has evolved over the decades, and Korea has more recently emerged as one of the world's major suppliers of nuclear power technologies. With growing interest

Post U.S. Election Prospects for Nuclear Power and Opportunities for Korea-Japan-U.S. Trilateral Cooperation January 11, 2017 The Republic of Korea, Japan, and the United States are among the world's most prominent civil nuclear powers, and yet each presently face a set of unique and common issues regarding the future of their respective nuclear energy programs.

Improving the Economics of Nuclear Power: Lessons Learned from the Korean Experience October 06, 2016 A growing number of nuclear power plants throughout the United States face the prospect of premature shutdown and decommissioning, leading many to dismiss nuclear power as expensive and economically uncompetitive. However, many of the recent reactor shutdowns in the U.S.

Developing a Regulatory Framework to Facilitate Nuclear Energy Innovation May 19, 2016 In recent years, numerous companies and entities seeking to develop and commercialize advanced nuclear power technologies have emerged in the United States. These technologies, which differ significantly from the conventional light water reactors (LWRs) currently deployed at power plants throughout the country, have

The Future of the U.S.-Korea Civil Nuclear Partnership October 15, 2015 Given the imperative of simultaneously addressing growing global energy needs and climate change, nuclear power will be a necessity rather than an option. In order to meet climate goals, new nuclear build must occur at a pace far greater than what is currently taking
