Nuclear Energy Workshops

Historically, the most rapid reductions in carbon emissions have resulted from large build outs of nuclear power, as was witnessed in France in the 1970s and 1980s. While preserving existing nuclear plants will be crucial to carbon mitigation, accelerating...

In July, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) announced a change to its Environmental and Social Policy and Procedures guidelines to enable the support of nuclear power projects, marking a departure from a legacy prohibition on civil...

Most of the nuclear reactors in operation today in advanced economies were built before 1990, and as these reactors are eventually shut down, global nuclear leadership is expected to shift. Without policy changes, the IEA expects Japan, the US, and the EU to...

As the U.S. looks to take back global nuclear leadership through the next generation of advanced nuclear technologies, it is imperative that advanced nuclear and fast neutron testing capabilities are made available to facilitate R&D and regulatory...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPjP4m4igSY Today, discussion about nuclear power has largely revolved around its value as an energy commodity. However, while nuclear power can help to decouple growing global energy demand from growing emissions, nuclear...

Nuclear technologies have typically struggled to compete with natural gas on economics alone, as nuclear technologies tend to come with high capital costs and significant operational and maintenance costs. HolosGen is a very-small modular reactor design...
