In this summary, we spotlight the 2024 Nuclear SMR Innovators, as identified in Reuters Events’ comprehensive report. In the realm of nuclear energy, the year 2023 was a period of both challenges and opportunities. Particularly, for the market of advanced nuclear and small modular reactor (SMR) technologies there has been a dynamic shift. Notably, despite […]
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 […]
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 […]
A Groundbreaking Visit Sparks Collaboration In December of 2019, marking the start of the NuScale SMR training collaboration, Accelerant Solutions leaders, Projects Director Jason Smith and President/CEO Billy Mack, visited NuScale’s headquarters in Corvallis, Oregon. There, they met with company leaders to explore training collaboration opportunities. Touring NuScale’s Innovative SMR Simulator During the visit, integral […]
The nuclear power industry is rapidly evolving, requiring us to adapt our approach to employee training. Accordingly, blended and virtual learning have emerged as powerful tools, enhancing training effectiveness, efficiency, and flexibility. In this blog post, we will explore how aligning the learning and development (L&D) strategy with blended and virtual learning can revolutionize nuclear […]
Created by ChatGPT and Jessika Hernandez Since my blog topic this month is focused on AI, I thought why not let AI create it? I wanted to keep it scholarly, and without too much specificity, because if you are familiar with the Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPTs) in use currently, you know that your prompt steers […]
