Nuclear power and hydropower form the backbone of low-carbon electricity generation. Together, they provide three-quarters of global low-carbon generation. Over the past 50 years, the use of nuclear power has reduced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by over 60 gigatonnes – nearly two years’...

The nuclear energy sector employs a considerable workforce around the world, and with nuclear power projected to grow in countries with increasing electricity demand, corresponding jobs in the nuclear power sector will also grow. Using the most available macroeconomic model to determine total...

In this study, an integrated system based on a floating nuclear plant with an onshore multigenerational system is designed and analyzed with thermodynamic based energy and exergy approaches. High-temperature gas-cooled pebble bed reactor technology is considered in the floating nuclear plant. A...
