What fuels increased electricity production year-on-year? Coal – up 34.7% (112.5 million MWh) Wind – up 10% (17.4) Solar – up 29% (12.6)

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

Following a two-year consultation process coordinated by the EU Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) for Sustainable Energy, the five African power pools selected IRENA and the IAEA to support the continent’s modelling and capacity needs.

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,”

"For the development of nuclear energy, which inevitably awaits us after the end of coal combustion in the Czech Republic, it is essential that Czech industry maintain high competencies in the widest possible range of expertise related to nuclear energy,"

Argentina's nuclear sector has three PHWRs with a total generating capacity of 1641 MWe across the Atucha I, Atucha II and Embalse power plants.

Belgium's nuclear phase out is based on legislation passed in 2003 that prohibited the building of new reactors and the service lives of existing ones to 40 years.
