"Nuclear power is a present solution. It is also a future energy alternative. It may not be for everyone. But for many countries in Africa, it is an option worth looking at."

The simplest version of the Teplator has been designed to operate at normal atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius (212 Fahrenheit), requiring fewer complicated technical solutions and materials.

Rosatom signed two memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with Ethiopia’s Ministry of Innovation and Technology.

“We are on the right track and some progress has been made, but this does not mean that the talks in Vienna have reached the final stage,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh told a weekly news conference in Tehran.

The governments of France, Germany and the UK on 14 April responded to Iran's plans to enrich to 60% with "grave concern",

The IPCC report's various scenarios for an increase in nuclear energy is echoed by World Nuclear Association's Harmony goal - the addition of 1000 GWe of new nuclear capacity and a 25% share in the global electricity mix, by 2050.

Russia’s Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrate Plant (part of Rosatom’s Fuel Company TVEL) intends to establish a production facility for the serial production of TVS-Kvadrat fuel for nuclear power plants of western design, Vladimir Rozhdestvensky, adviser to TVEL’s President, said on 9 April.

China needs to speed up its nuclear development to achieve its pledge to bring greenhouse gas emissions to a peak before 2030 and become “carbon neutral” by 2060.

President Biden recently introduced a massive infrastructure bill designed to reshape the U.S. economy while addressing infrastructure reform. Biden’s stated goal is to achieve 100 percent carbon-free power by 2035.

Several microreactor designs are currently under development in the United States that will be smaller in size, more flexible to operate and versatile enough to provide energy to end users for a variety of services ranging from electricity production to water purification.

Those actions, along with Congress passing support for the US uranium reserve, are "really reinvigorating" the entire US fuel supply chain and could allow the country to be a leading global supplier of advanced fuels,

"We have to be able to give them a scenario where there is plentiful, reliable, inexpensive electric energy that will propel economic prosperity, growth around the world, and not just for those of us that already have it, but also for the billion people out there who want to have it,"

Nuclear output fell more than 2 GW week on week to the lowest average nuclear output since Week 40 in 2020.

TAE Technologies, the California, USA-based fusion energy technology company, has announced that its proprietary beam-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma generator has produced stable plasma at over 50 million degrees Celsius.

Scientific assessments have made clear that nuclear energy is needed to address the related causes and the challenges ahead of these disruptions. Despite this, the limited recognition this low carbon, dispatchable energy source receives from the European Commission is at best paradoxical, and certainly counterproductive.
