This year is an important year for nuclear energy. It is the 70th anniversary of the “Atoms for Peace” speech by Dwight Eisenhower where he called for worldwide cooperation to develop atomic energy for peaceful purposes. In 1939, a group of scientists & engineers, with the U.S. Government, embarked on the development of one of […]
Read MoreThe UNITED STATES is the world’s largest producer of nuclear power, accounting for about 30% of worldwide generation of nuclear electricity, followed by France, China, Japan, and Russia. Scattered throughout the U.S. are 54 active nuclear power plants with 93 nuclear reactors in operation. The total energy generated from these plants is over 800 terawatts […]
Read MoreNuclear is getting smaller, literally, and it’s opening opportunities for the industry. Much has been published about SMRs (Small Modular Reactors) but less so of micro-reactors. Micro-reactors will be small enough to be transported by truck, rail, or air and could help solve energy challenges in many areas, ranging from remote commercial or residential locations […]
Read MoreTHE STATE OF THE INDUSTRY – by Sid Crouch, GTTSi Chief Technical Consultant Nuclear proponents are optimistic after Vogtle 3 achieved commercial operation, with Unit 4 close behind. The lessons learned are expected to be a catalyst for future units; but the industry took a gigantic blow when NuScale and Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems […]
Read MoreThe attitude concerning nuclear power is turning around. Attached is an interesting perspective from Bank of America (BofA) in a report called “The Nuclear Necessity”. The report from BofA Securities says “We are bullish on uranium and nuclear power. After a decade of underinvestment, a shortage is visible; our strategists forecast 20-40% upside. Global demand is […]
Read MoreIn 2016, after many years of negative public opinion concerning the operation of PG&E’s nuclear power plant designated Diablo Canyon, plans were announced to shutter the two units as their operating licenses expired – Unit 1 in 2024 and Unit 2 in 2025. With the nation’s focus directed toward achieving zero-carbon emissions, nuclear energy has […]
Read MoreConstellation, operator of the nation’s largest fleet of reliable, carbon-free nuclear plants – 21 plants to be exact – has announced its acquisition of a 44% ownership stake of NRG’s South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STP). STP is a 2,645-megawatt, dual-unit nuclear plant located about 90 miles southwest of Houston. It is one of […]
Read MoreCentrus Energy Corporation, located in Piketon, Ohio, has produced the nation’s first 20 kilograms of High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) fuel and ahead of schedule. HALEU fuel is uranium enriched so that the concentration of the fissile isotope uranium-235 is between 5% and 20% of the mass of uranium. Most of the current nuclear power plants […]
Read MoreSeven years ago, a doctoral student at the University of California at Irvine, Mya Le Thai, accidentally discovered that if she used a gold nanowire in an electrolyte gel, rather than lithium, she could extend the nano-battery life increasing its charging cycles. Note: A battery charging cycle is when the battery goes from fully charged […]
Read MoreAs we continue to transition toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels have become increasingly prominent. They have played a pivotal role in the plan to reduce carbon emissions and lessen our reliance on fossil fuels; however, one aspect of the renewable energy landscape that often […]
