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 […]
In today’s nuclear energy industry, where precision and safety reign supreme, adopting effective nuclear workforce development strategies is crucial. Our journey towards a skilled workforce hinges on a strategic approach to testing and training. As the industry continues to evolve, so must the methods by which we evaluate and develop the skills of nuclear professionals. […]
Nuclear power has been a vital component of the global energy mix for many decades, providing reliable and consistent baseload power. Despite the negative public perception of nuclear power, projections suggest that nuclear power generation is set to increase over the next 20 years, with new reactors being built in several countries. As the demand […]
Dispelling More Neuromyths: Neuroscience in Education Back in January I wrote a blog to compliment my presentation at CONTE 2023 on neuromyths in education. It is always a popular topic of conversation, so I thought I would write again to dispel a few more. As explained in January, a neuromyth is an oversimplification or false […]
In an era of increasing concern about climate change and the need for sustainable energy sources, the role of commercial nuclear power has become a topic of intense debate. Supporters argue that nuclear power offers a reliable, low-carbon solution to meet growing energy demands, while critics raise concerns about safety, waste management, and the potential […]
