New Civil Engineer’s Post

Witnessing the bipartisan support with the introduction of the Nuclear REFUEL Act is an exciting development towards a nuclear future. By streamlining licensing requirements for nuclear fuel recycling facilities, this legislation removes critical barriers, making it easier to invest in advanced nuclear technologies and ensuring a more secure energy supply. Bipartisan efforts like this show that clean energy and innovation are shared goals, transcending political divides. Simplifying the regulatory process not only accelerates the development of advanced reactors and fuel technologies but also strengthens U.S. energy independence and global leadership in nuclear energy. https://lnkd.in/g6upzWQx

Global Interest in Nuclear Power Investments is on the rise! Big thanks to Anglo-Swedish Nuclear Delegation for two great days in UK. It’s great to see so many Swedish companies within the nuclear energy sector gathered in one place – and to see our knowledge and expertise being sought after. Nuclear Power Investments is on the rise – especially in Sweden. The Swedish Government’s recently presented study on new financing and risk sharing proposal for the construction of new nuclear power reactors makes it clear: building a multi-tier financing solution to facilitate new investments in nuclear power at a low cost. This approach could be a crucial step towards ensuring a sustainable and reliable energy future. Read summary of proposal on WNN: https://lnkd.in/g9NeJaH8 Great things lie ahead, and ISEC plans to play a vital role in Sweden’s nuclear energy development going forward

New IAEA Report on Climate Change and Nuclear Power Focuses on Financing: The 2024 edition of the IAEA’s Climate Change and Nuclear Power report has been released, highlighting the need for a significant increase in investment to achieve goals for expanding nuclear power.

Today's news has been dominated by the unveiling of the federal opposition's plans to build seven nuclear power plants by 2050 should they be elected to power at the next election. There has been extensive debate from both public and private sectors about whether nuclear power should be part of Australia’s future energy mix. This note looks at the arguments for and against the use of nuclear power in Australia and assesses whether nuclear power is a realistic solution to the requirements of Australia’s energy transition. #chasingzero #HSFEnergy #energytransition #nuclear

The Nuclear Innovation Alliance outlines steps to bolster the advanced nuclear power sector.

Finland and the UK will intensify their cooperation in a broad range of peaceful uses of nuclear energy under a newly signed agreement that recognises the potential for new and emerging nuclear technologies, including for non-power applications.

AI needs LOTS of electricity. Thus, its fate is deeply connected with the coming (or not ?) US nuclear renaissance !!! So, read this immensely important article by Dr Helene Lavoix about the (near) future of nuclear energy in a turbo-charged geopolitical environment, while AI deeply alters electricity needs !!! What is the American #nuclearrenaissance all about? How does it fit in with the global return to nuclear power? What does it mean for the American National Interest? How does it compare with #China’s surge in nuclear #energy? Are the #US nuclear power objectives feasible?

Best invest in Building Fusion power, space, and maritime propulsion systems and industry, You talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising innovative sustainable and clean energy method. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real, https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr

OECD Declaration / Industry Groups Urge Governments To Make Nuclear Expansion ‘Strategic Priority’: A coalition of global nuclear industry organisations has called on governments to fully harness the potential of nuclear energy as part of a “strategic priority” to meet climate targets and boost energy security. In a joint declaration, representatives from organisations* including Brussels-based Nucleareurope, London-based World Nuclear Association, US-based Nuclear Energy Institute, France’s Gifen, and six others, urged governments to accelerate the deployment of new nuclear power facilities based on proven designs and “fast-track” new technologies, including small and advanced reactors. The declaration also called on governments to “to maximise” the potential of existing nuclear plants by extending operational lifetimes, increasing output, and restarting closed facilities where feasible.
