U.S.-ROK Cooperation on Nuclear Energy to Address Climate Change

By |2019-11-18T12:01:29-05:00November 13th, 2019|Categories: Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Energy Workshops|0 Comments

Both the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK) derive most of their energy consumption from fossil fuels, primarily oil, coal, and natural gas. While the U.S. has achieved decreased carbon emissions in recent years by displacing coal generation with natural gas use, deep decarbonization would not be possible through switching coal for natural

Russian and Chinese Approaches to Civil Nuclear Exports: Responding to the Competitive Landscape and Implications for U.S. Foreign Policy

By |2019-06-17T12:20:10-04:00June 17th, 2019|Categories: Events, Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Energy Workshops|0 Comments

Russia and China are quickly and aggressively marketing their civil nuclear technologies throughout the world. For emerging nuclear markets, such as in the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa, the comprehensive nature of Russian and Chinese civil nuclear packages—which includes financing, equity, operations, training, long-term support, fuel cycle services, and other side benefits—is very appealing. The

Prospects for SMR and Advanced Reactor Deployment in Sub-Saharan Africa

By |2019-06-11T17:38:06-04:00June 11th, 2019|Categories: Events, Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Energy Workshops|0 Comments

There has been widespread interest in the development of civil nuclear programs in Africa. Africa, and Sub-Saharan Africa in particular, has never been viewed as a robust market for nuclear power, at least partly because conventional plants are perceived as too costly and inflexible to be practical. However, with the emergence of SMRs and advanced
