"According to the report, not only would the early closure of nuclear power plants trigger an increase in consumer costs, it will also result in negative environmental impacts," noted Foratom Director General Yves Desbazeille.

UK was “matching ambition on nuclear with action”, citing the Net Zero Strategy including the £120 million Future Nuclear Enabling Fund, to support the deployment of nuclear projects.

The ARENH law (Accès régulé à l'électricité nucléaire historique, 2010) obliges EDF to sell part of its nuclear generation (up to 100 TWh/year, i.e. around a quarter of its production) to alternative suppliers on the wholesale market at a regulated price

It says its ultra-compact molten salt reactor uses "the untapped potential of used radioactive materials, and thorium, unused mining waste."

The NuScale Power Module is a pressurised water reactor with all the components for steam generation and heat exchange incorporated into a single unit, generating 77 MWe.

The new strategic cooperation agreement was signed by Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachov and Framatome CEO Bernard Fontana during the World Nuclear Exhibition held in Paris this week.

“As an increasing number of states pursue nuclear energy, decommissioning and waste management as well as nuclear security are two components essential for its sustainable use” said Toshio Kodama, President of JAEA. “JAEA is determined to work together with the IAEA in this scheme to contribute to the international community in these two important areas.”

France operates 56 nuclear power reactors, which make up over 70% of the country’s electricity generation. It has a smaller per capita carbon footprint than most developed countries. “France is already a world leader in low carbon energy generation, and nuclear energy has a major role to play in that,” Mr Grossi said.

"Nuclear power enables rapid decarbonisation on a massive scale, and it has the track record to prove it."

The nuclear energy industry has been at the forefront of applying AI to its processes and operations, thanks partly to its collaborative, monitoring-heavy and data-driven nature.

Сотрудничество России и КНР в ТЭК за последнее десятилетие успешно развивается и вышло на беспрецедентно высокий уровень благодаря совместным усилиям лидеров стран.

The Duma ratified the protocol amending the 2014 agreement between the governments of the Russian Federation and Hungary on the provision the loan (the protocol was signed in Moscow and Budapest in May).

Converting national and regional natural gas networks to hydrogen could be a powerful decarbonisation solution, by distributing the gas to millions of individual users across the country,

Laser fusion is a method of igniting nuclear fusion reactions and is a potential alternative to magnetic confinement.

US support for nuclear energy has grown 10 percentage points from 2018 to 2021, with 59% overall now saying they are strongly or somewhat in support.
