Nuclear power is essential for a secure, reliable energy future and national security. To lead on the global stage and counter the influence of China and Russia in advanced nuclear technology, the U.S. must act decisively. This means modernizing permitting and licensing processes to accelerate development while maintaining safety and operational excellence. The current timelines for nuclear project approval are a significant barrier to progress. Streamlined yet robust permitting reform and standardized reactor designs can reduce delays and allow the U.S. to stay competitive. Nuclear power is not just an energy solution; it's a strategic imperative. Let’s commit to advancing nuclear power responsibly and quickly—our energy independence and leadership depend on it. 💡⚡ #NuclearPower #PermittingReform #NationalSecurity #EnergyLeadership

Check out this episode. It's an interesting time to be involved in the nuclear construction space supporting more clean, renewable energy to power the growing demand from areas like data center with new nuclear technologies!
Meet the company building an entire fleet of nuclear power plants. There's no doubt that we need more power, and lots of it. EVs, datacenters, and more are driving unprecedented load growth, and we need to deploy clean, reliable power at a speed and scale we've never seen before. The Nuclear Company is revolutionizing how we think about nuclear development with a cookie-cutter approach to deploying Gigawatt-scale nuclear power plants. This novel approach promises to greatly reduce to cost and deployment time. Chief Nuclear Officer Joseph B. Klecha IV joined us on Energy Terminal to discuss the company's approach and why he's bullish on the future of nuclear. He began his career working on nuclear submarines in the US Navy then progressed through leadership roles at companies including Constellation and Southern Company, where he played a key role in the development of the Vogtle project. Tune into the episode to learn about concrete strategies to scale nuclear power like never before. #nuclearenergy #nuclear #nuclearpower #cleanenergy #electrification

The Atomic Energy Advancement Act was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, setting a new precedent for the future of nuclear energy in the country. The Act streamlines the review process for advanced reactor license applicants and reduces associated fees, facilitating faster deployment of nuclear reactors. Sponsored by Representatives Diana DeGette and Jeff Duncan, the bill emphasizes modernizing nuclear regulations, extending the Price Anderson Act, and reinforcing the U.S.'s leadership in global nuclear energy. As the country moves towards decarbonization, this legislative effort is pivotal in ensuring a sustainable and secure energy future.

As the UK's national laboratory for nuclear fission, we welcome this announcement extending the operational life of four nuclear power stations - Torness, Heysham 1, Heysham 2, and Hartlepool. This significant decision will help maintain vital low-carbon electricity generation for millions of UK homes, supporting energy security during the transition to new nuclear capacity. The £1.3bn investment commitment demonstrates confidence in our national nuclear capabilities. We're particularly encouraged by the commitment to regular safety inspections. This approach aligns with our mission to support safe, sustainable nuclear energy for the UK. Looking ahead, these extensions will help bridge the gap until new generation nuclear power comes online, while preserving crucial skills and expertise within our sector.

A recent chart ranks countries by nuclear power capacity, using data from Global Energy Monitor. As of late 2023, global nuclear capacity is 396 gigawatts (GW), with the U.S. leading at 102 GW across 94 reactors. France (64 GW) and China (58 GW) follow. However, with 299 GW of capacity in development or announced, China is set to overtake the U.S., adding 118 GW—a 204% increase. India plans a 420% boost with 32 GW. Globally, nuclear capacity is projected to reach 695 GW, a 75% rise. In December 2023, 22 countries committed to tripling nuclear capacity by 2050. #NuclearPower #EnergyTransition #GlobalEnergy #NuclearCapacity #China #US #France #India #EnergyFuture #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #NetZero #RenewableEnergy #GlobalEnergyMonitor

Advocate for a globally competitive #AUSTRALIANFUSIONENERGYINDUSTRY with strategic communications expertise.
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
Oxford Institute for Energy Studies published a special issue of its Energy Forum on the role of nuclear energy in the global energy landscape 👉 Link to OIES Forum: https://lnkd.in/eUbu4HXC OEF issue is divided into four parts: 1️⃣ The cases for and against nuclear power 2️⃣ Technological advancements in nuclear energy with special focus on SMRs and fusion 3️⃣ Country and regional experiences in nuclear including EU, UK, US, China, and the Gulf 4️⃣ The geopolitics of nuclear energy The various contributions show that while there is renewed emphasis on the pivotal role of nuclear power generation in addressing issues such as energy security and climate change, expanding the role of nuclear energy is far from straightforward and characterized by intricate challenges spanning economic viability, cost-effectiveness, fuel supply dynamics, evolving technologies, regulatory frameworks, public acceptance, and the intricate geopolitics intertwined with the expanding role of nuclear energy #nuclearenergy #nuclearpower #energysecuriy #decarbonization #geopolitics

🚀 Breakthrough in Nuclear Safety: China’s Meltdown-Proof Reactor I firmly believe nuclear energy is a must in a clean energy future. That's why it was exciting for me to recently read that China made history with the development of the world's first nuclear reactor designed to be completely meltdown-proof—the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Pebble-Bed Module (HTR-PM). Located at the Shidaowan nuclear power plant, this innovative reactor began commercial operations in December 2023 and marks a significant advancement in nuclear safety. Key features of the HTR-PM include: 🚀Passive Cooling System: Utilizes a pebble-bed design that cools itself without external power, slowing the fission reaction and reducing heat. 🚀Natural Heat Dissipation: The reactor can naturally dissipate heat during shutdowns, reducing nuclear reactions without active intervention. 🚀Commercial Scale: The HTR-PM is the first of its kind to be operational at a commercial scale, generating 105 MW per unit. This development could redefine nuclear safety standards worldwide. https://lnkd.in/eb3ryKT8 #NuclearEnergy #SafetyInnovation #EnergyNews #GlobalEnergy #EMPower
