The new disruptive digital technologies will be "game-changers across industries, across sectors throughout the world"

Poland currently produces most of its electricity from coal and is the only EU member state that has not joined the commitment to achieve climate neutrality by 2050,

Nuclear power will be essential if Japan is to reach its goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050,

During his introductory remarks, Adam Guibourgé-Czetwertyński, Poland's undersecretary of state for climate and environment, said the country had identified "a crucial role" for nuclear energy in its future energy mix.

Existing nuclear technology could already produce hydrogen at below USD2 per kg, and a new generation of advanced small modular reactors could achieve the 90 cents per kg target price potentially by 2030.

The UK government must continue to support nuclear power generation if the country is to meet an expected doubling of electricity demand by 2050 while meeting its Net Zero ambitions,

In addition to clean electricity, nuclear energy is the only low-carbon energy source that can also produce low-carbon heat.

The U.S. nuclear energy industry pulled out some big wins in 2020,

It is the policy of the United States to promote advanced reactor technologies, including small modular reactors, to support defense installation energy flexibility and energy security, and for use in space exploration,

Nuclear power supplies about 20% of US electricity generation and is by far the nation's largest source of carbon-free energy and the most reliable, operating at a capacity factor of more than 93%, the strategy notes.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in a recent report said more than 70 SMR designs and concepts exist worldwide. SMRs also are being touted for their ability to work as a multi-module plant, combining modules for more power output.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) latest inventory of electricity generators, developers and power plant owners plan for 39.7 gigawatts (GW) of new electricity generating capacity to start commercial operation in 2021.

In 2019, nuclear power generation in France dipped by 3.5% to 379.5 TWh, missing its 384-388 TWh target.

The total appropriation for the Department of Energy (DOE) is USD42.04 billion, which is USD3.45 billion above the FY2020-enacted level and USD6.31 billion above the budget request.

China will increase the share of clean energy sources, including nuclear, in its energy mix.
