Nuclear

GLOBAL:

Nuclear Fission is used to continuously split uranium atoms. The heat energy released is used to make steam that will drive a turbine and generate electricity.

Nuclear Power is used to provide stable (baseload) grids and energy security, with reduced dependence on imported fuels.

• In 2021, Global electricity generated by nuclear was 9.8%

  • ¹Electricity generation by nuclear fuel = 2,800.3 / 28,466.3 [TWh]

• 2^nd largest source of global low-carbon electricity (to hydro-power)

• New nuclear technologies are required for a global clean energy system

• Nuclear power capacity is required to approximately double (from 390 GW) for a net-zero scenario
