In the United States and South Korea, the nuclear industries are experiencing a decline in workforce. The shift away from nuclear in both countries can be cited as a potential factor in the declining workforce, as the US is experiencing premature reactor shutdowns and South Korea is experiencing a political shift towards an anti- nuclear

America's advanced nuclear renaissance has formed the springboard upon which the United States can regain world leadership in nuclear energy. However, a failure to develop global standards for advanced nuclear regulation, leverage capital and investment from international partners and allies, and establish a robust fuel cycle sector to support advanced reactors may threaten to derail

In November 2018, Kyung Hee University located in Seoul, the Global America Business Institute (GABI) based in Washington, D.C., and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) headquartered in New York kicked off a series of private meetings to discuss findings from technical and policy experts related to a possible DPRK denuclearization roadmap. Given current circumstances

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 reductions in GHG emissions will require significant nuclear new build going forward. Considering the economics, land

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 nuclear financing. The DFC's policy change, more than just a symbolic recognition of the potential contribution of

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

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

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
