#CleanEnergyWithoutBorders spotlights the Angra Nuclear Power Plant in Brazil. Located in Rio de Janeiro state, Angra consists of two operational reactors, Angra 1 and Angra 2, generating over 2,000 MW of clean, reliable energy. A third reactor, Angra 3, is under construction and will add approximately 1,405 MW, further strengthening Brazil’s energy security and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. As a key player in the country’s low-carbon transition, Angra helps cut emissions while supporting economic and industrial growth.

Nuclear Engineering International takes a detailed look at the Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) design, focusing on its commitment to efficiency, safety, and sustainability. The BWR design, known for its simple yet effective layout, generates electricity by using water as both the coolant and the steam source for turbines. Key features of this design include natural circulation cooling, a direct cycle where steam drives the turbine, and robust safety systems that ensure secure operation under various conditions. BWRs are renowned for their cost-effectiveness and ability to deliver reliable, low-carbon energy to meet growing global demands. With over 60 BWR units in operation worldwide, it’s a prime example of how nuclear energy continues to play a significant role in advancing a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.

Is it possible to carry a portable micro reactor with you? 🤔💡 In Iron Man (2008), Tony Stark uses a compact arc reactor, a fictional nuclear fusion power source, to power his suit and save his life. Being a fictional technology, arc reactor draws on some real scientific principles, particularly nuclear fusion and energy generation. While we’re not quite there yet, the idea of clean, portable energy is becoming more and more relevant. Could small-scale nuclear reactors be the future of energy? Well, we already have some prominent development on hands - fusion research, RTGs and SMRs 🌍 #NuclearInPop
