In the dynamic landscape of nuclear power, mastering Maintenance & Technical (M&T) Fundamentals is essential. For nuclear professionals across disciplines like Maintenance Mechanical, Electrical, I&C, Radiation Protection, Chemistry and Engineering, establishing a solid knowledge foundation is critical. Traditionally, training programs are segmented, following distinct paths per discipline as guided by their respective ACAD. These guidelines […]
The debate on nuclear energy strategies in Africa unfolds amid growing energy demands and the urgent shift towards sustainability. Should Africa invest in large nuclear power plants, the cornerstone of traditional nuclear energy, or pivot to Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)? This analysis explores both paths, considering their benefits, challenges, and the unique African context. Large […]
In a historic achievement for the nuclear energy sector, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced its decision to extend a $1.52 billion nuclear plant loan to Holtec International, setting the stage for the restart of the previously decommissioned Palisades nuclear power plant in Covert Township, MI. This significant financial endorsement not only underscores […]
Introduction to SMRs and ARs Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Advanced Reactors (ARs) lead the transformation of the nuclear energy industry. These technologies, central to SMR and AR nuclear advances, offer sustainable and efficient energy solutions. SMRs have an output of less than 300 megawatts. ARs boast advanced safety and efficiency features. Both provide flexibility […]
In the current landscape of clean energy discussions, a resounding theme echoes – the urgent need for extreme growth, particularly the tripling of carbon-free electric production by 2050. We explore the formidable challenge “Nuclear Growth Strategies” to meet this goal, alongside managing the aging of existing plants on the brink of decommissioning. Securing Supply Chain […]
Do you think electricity is the cat’s pajamas? Chances are you do, especially since we’ve been experiencing a sweltering summer. Electricity is an indispensable part of our lives, but have you even sat in reflection on where it comes from? The answer is in power plants, and I’m going to give you a basic idea […]
Global efforts are focusing on achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Small modular reactors (SMRs) might be a critical part of the solution. Today, we’re spotlighting the connection between SMRs and net-zero carbon emissions. We’ll particularly evaluate SMR’s economic viability against other carbon-free electrical sources. Why Choose SMRs and Their Role in Achieving Net-Zero Carbon […]
