The MBIR is a 150 MWt, sodium-cooled fast reactor and will have a design life of up to 50 years.

Nuclear generation capacity is expected to grow by 2.6% annually, reaching 615 GWe by 2040

In March 2020, the French government allowed EDF to postpone the deadline for commissioning the reactor to 2024.

At the end of 2020 there were 441 operable nuclear reactors, with a combined capacity of 392 GWe. This total capacity has remained almost unchanged for the last three years.

Four small modular reactors (SMRs) will power the huge Baimskaya copper and gold mining development in the Russian Arctic

The United States Department of Energy and the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, hereinafter referred to as the PARTICIPANTS:

Energoatom has selected Westinghouse AP1000 technology for their long-term goals to develop new NPPs in Ukraine.

Ghana had long been dependent on hydro energy for its base load options but the government’s economic growth policies needed stable and reliable energy, “that is what nuclear brings to our energy sector to ensure security, reliability, sustainability and affordable tariffs”.

South Africa is the only African nation with an operational nuclear power plant. The 1,860 MW Koeberg nuclear power plant, near Cape Town, has two 930 MW reactors that were commissioned in 1984 and 1985, respectively, and that are currently licensed until 2024.

“Low carbon renewable energy sources are climate friendly but are not always readily controllable or able to meet energy demand due to the intermittent nature of solar and wind, and the absence of massive energy storage capacities. This means the power grid often requires supplementary energy sources,”
