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

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 company that has developed the Holos Quad, a reactor core that can address the cost issues associated with nuclear.

Advanced nuclear technologies hold promise for improved passive safety, greater versatility in applications, competitiveness in energy markets, enhanced proliferation resistance, and more sustainable fuel cycles. However, fulfilling this potential will likely require broad deployment in a timely fashion. Even as the COVID-19 outbreak threatens the foundations of global trade and commerce, leveraging international R&D expertise

As the global community moves towards cleaner energy generation sources, nuclear energy will play a larger role. Specifically, advanced nuclear offers a number of key characteristics that may solidify its significance as a large portion of the future energy mix, as it allows for more efficient fuel usage, improved passive safety, and improved economics among

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

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 convened a private meeting to discuss findings from technical and policy experts related to a possible DPRK denuclearization roadmap. One year later, the three entities will host
