Nuclear power and renewables can, if planned properly, be exemplary partners as we strive towards building a clean energy world following the pandemic, while ensuring that we do so without leaving a large percentage of world's population behind.

"The US fusion community has been a pioneer of fusion research since its inception and now has the opportunity to bring fusion to the marketplace,"

Nuclear energy is an "indispensable tool" for achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). It has a crucial role in providing affordable energy and climate change mitigation, as well as eliminating poverty, achieving zero hunger, providing clean water, economic growth, and industry innovation.

Canada will need to triple its power production levels over the next 30 years to enable the electrification of economic sectors, and this will require the simultaneous development of all available zero-carbon generation technologies simultaneously including large and small nuclear reactors as well as renewables and hydro

Clean, affordable energy is going to be vital to meet the SDGs, nuclear energy provides additional benefits to human health and wellbeing.

Rosatom’s Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (NIIAR) and the AA Bochvar Research Institute of Inorganic Materials (VNIINM), part of TVEL fuel company, have completed new stages in the development of Russian accident tolerant fuel (ATF) for VVER and pressurised water reactors.

Four Russian-designed VVER-1200 pressurised water reactors are planned for El Dabaa, which is on the Mediterranean coast, 170km west of Alexandria and Zafraana on the Gulf of Suez.

At the end of 2020, nuclear power's share of Russia's energy mix stood at 20.28%.

All but four of the nation’s 94 operating nuclear power plants are performing at the highest safety and security levels, according to a new release from the U.S. industry regulator.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan joined the ceremony via videoconference. Energy and Natural Resources Minister Fatih Dönmez, ROSATOM Director General Alexey Likhachev and Akkuyu Nuclear JSC CEO Anastasia Zoteeva were present at the Akkuyu NPP site.

China announced its aim to increase its nuclear power capacity by 40% from 50 GW in 2020 to 70 GW in 2025. However, the 2021-2025 plan isn't expected to slow down the construction of new coal-fired power plants.

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.

China said in its 2021-2025 five-year plan released on Friday that it would raise total nuclear capacity to 70 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2025.

In August 2011, the 13th amendment of the Nuclear Power Act came into effect, which underlined the political will to phase out nuclear power in Germany.

Hungary has four nuclear reactors generating about half of its electricity. In 2018, nuclear accounted for 49% of its electricity mix, natural gas for 23%, and coal for 15%. Poland's Energy Policy for 2040 is based on three pillars: a just transition; a zero-emission energy system; and good air quality. As part of this policy, Poland plans to build six nuclear units by 2043.
