Current and emerging advanced heat sources (new generation nuclear reactors) can do more than just provide reliable, clean electricity.They can offer added flexibility for power grids, decarbonise heating and industrial processes, and produce low-cost hydrogen and synthetic fuels..
According to the Expert Group on Resource Management of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, nuclear energy is an ‘indispensable tool’ for achieving the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs).It will have a crucial role in providing affordable energy and climate change mitigation, as well as eliminating poverty, achieving zero hunger, providing clean water, economic growth and industry innovation.. 10.In terms of what is safe and clean, fossil fuels are far more dangerous than renewables and nuclear energy.. 11.
Arguing against the benefits of nuclear power, opponents will list additional reasons why we should not use nuclear: cost, feasibility and the energy required to mine uranium and create nuclear power stations.But the same aspects are a matter of debate for renewables.
These objections are perfectly relevant in determining the right mix for our energy production portfolio.
But because we are trying to determine whether nuclear energy is clean and safe, we focus on the likelihood and scale of the negative aspects of nuclear..The benefits of standardisation are visible every day in the manufacturing industry, at global scale.
We bring them to construction, in our.Platforms approach to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA).
A proven approach.We do not come to any project with a ready-made solution.
