Fukushima has certainly left its mark on the nuclear industry. When the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami occurred on March 11, 2011, there were 54 nuclear reactors in Japan.

This 2.1 GW programme is part of South Korea's strategy to become carbon neutral by 2050.

There is a very special material that could be used to release significant energy without really leaving radioactive fission products with long decomposition times. This is approx, it only requires 100 years of storage. This element is thorium.

As Texas plunged into darkness last month, its power markets turned to chaos. The financial repercussions of that chaos are becoming apparent now.

The polar vortex which incapacitated much of the electric grid in Texas is gone, but the financial vortex is happening now in the state and will be around for years, if not decades.

As a reliable and carbon-free source of electricity that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, nuclear energy has an important role in powering the fourth industrial revolution.

Tvel said the new production facility in Elektrostal is a result of a contract signed as a part of a 2018 nuclear cooperation deal between Russia and China, which included the joint construction and operation of the CFR-600 plant.

The contribution of nuclear power could decline substantially in several leading markets while large growth is coming, as China takes first position within a decade

The USA now has 18 months to prepare both a technology and a financing offer to build nuclear power plants in Poland,

After hitting a low in April, global emissions rebounded strongly and rose above 2019 levels in December.

State Grid expects wind and solar installed capacity to hit 1,000 GW by 2030

The construction of Angra-3 started in the 1980s but was halted owing to a lack of resources.

That brings the total shortfall to nearly $2.5 billion, according to a market notice.
