Why is nuclear power important?

Why is nuclear power important?

In the global shift to clean energy, nuclear power and hydropower are the two main clean energy sources that can provide uninterrupted power. Nuclear power already accounts for a quarter of global low-carbon electricity, providing reliable power, supporting grid stability, and complementing variable renewables. Nuclear power does not release carbon during production and contributes to security of energy supply and clean energy transition. Compared to other sources of electricity, nuclear power has the lowest life-cycle carbon footprint and uses smaller materials and footprint. Although nuclear power faces the challenge of high upfront costs, it can provide low-cost and low-carbon energy in the long run. Nuclear power is also one of the safest sources of energy, and nuclear waste is strictly managed. World leaders and environmentalists are increasingly recognizing the benefits of nuclear power and working to expand its capacity to meet climate and energy needs.

Nuclear Reactor Technology Development

Nuclear energy technology continues to advance, focusing on cooling and material technologies for fusion and fission reactors, and using fission experience to accelerate fusion commercialization. Water-cooled reactors dominate, and their experience is used for design optimization. Small and medium-sized modular reactors have attracted attention for their flexible power generation, and the International Atomic Energy Agency has pushed for lower costs and early deployment. At the same time, strengthen SMR technology assessment, unified standards, and explore non-electric applications such as heating, seawater desalination, to help decarbonize energy.
