"The analyses did not reveal any science-based evidence that nuclear energy does more harm to human health or to the environment than other electricity production technologies already included in the Taxonomy as activities supporting climate change mitigation,"

The IAEA sees increasing work over the coming decades for decommissioning and associated waste management programmes. Many of the world's 443 nuclear power reactors currently in operation will phase out of service, while new reactors to be commissioned will need plans to fund their decommissioning.

"Based on this document, China will be a steady importer of Iran's oil, and Iran should remove China's concerns for return of its investment,"

In 2015, France decided to cap nuclear energy production capacity in order to diversify its energy sources.

The strategic decision to acquire part of Feldioara's assets necessary for the processing and refining of the raw material from which the U3O8 required for the manufacture of fuel assemblies is obtained, is aimed at ensuring Nuclearelectrica's integrated production capabilities, the company said.

Nuclear energy can generate low-carbon hydrogen via a number of different ways.

PROtect EATF is more tolerant to loss of active cooling in the reactor core for longer periods because its reduced oxidation behaviour increases "coping time"

"There is no bigger opportunity in front of us than rebuilding the world's energy system around carbon-free sources," Korsnick said, adding that there is "no more debate about the need for swift action".

“We are highly concerned that the Member State’s right to choose between different energy sources and the right to determine the general structure of the energy supply is currently heavily limited by EU policy making, which excludes nuclear power from more and more policies,” they said.

HALEU fuel is enriched to between 5% and 20% uranium-235 and will be required by many advanced reactor designs that are currently under development, but is not yet commercially available in the USA.
