As we reflect on nuclear power in 2024, one thing is clear: it was a landmark year for the commercial nuclear power industry in the United States. The sector saw key developments, from partnerships to policy shifts, that could therefore shape its future for decades. However, as we look ahead to 2025, significant uncertainties still […]
A Brief History of Nuclear Power Development in Canada As a pivotal player in the global arena, Canada’s nuclear industry has been evolving since 1944, starting with a research initiative in Montreal. Subsequently, this development led to the launch of the National Research Experimental Reactor (NRX) in 1947 at Chalk River, Ontario. In 1952, the […]
The Nuclear Resurgence: A Global Perspective: As nations worldwide aim for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, the United States is experiencing a significant resurgence of nuclear energy. This revival is crucial in the global fight against climate change, providing a reliable and carbon-free power alternative. However, the path forward remains filled with the legacies of […]
Why do we need to triple nuclear generation by 2050? The increasing reliance on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to meet the energy needs of data centers and heavy industry highlights the SMR nuclear energy benefits for our sustainable future. The Growing Appeal of SMRs in Heavy Industries It seems that there is a growing interest […]
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 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 […]
