USNIC-GABI Virtual Workshop – Nuclear Energy Market in Asia
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 lose nuclear capacity through retirements, while China and Russia accelerate the increase
GABI Virtual Workshop – NREL’s Energy Systems Integration Facility
The Energy Systems Integrations Facility (ESIF) is a national User Facility operated by NREL to accelerate the development of integrated energy systems in order to support the transforming grid. ESIF is equipped with a number of different attributes and testing capabilities. One of ESIF’s key attributes is the Hardware-in- the-Loop (HIL) testing capability that allows
Hydrogen and Fuel Cell R&D
Hydrogen can be produced from many different energy resources, and it has diverse applications and uses across many different sectors and industries. Thus, many national governments are looking to invest in hydrogen technologies as significant contributors to meeting their future energy needs and decarbonization/environmental goals. For example, both the US and Republic of Korea have
ClearPath-GABI Webinar on Fuels and Materials for Advanced Reactors
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 efforts. These testing capabilities will be needed to develop advanced fuels and materials that will be required to
Responding to the Nuclear Fuel Working Group report: perspectives from the US nuclear industry
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 power also serves strategic U.S. national security and geopolitical objectives as the international relationships formed from nuclear agreements and commerce last for many
