Nuclear energy is an important source of low-carbon electricity and plays a significant role in avoiding carbon emissions. It has the potential to contribute further to the decarbonisation of the wor...

High-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), also known as very-high-temperature reactors (VHTR) are Generation IV reactors that can operate at very high temperatures and use a graphite-moderated ga...

Reducing industrial carbon emissions is one of the most difficult challenges on the path to net zero by 2050 due to the magnitude of greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial sector and technical ...

The NEA organised a virtual workshop on 7 October 2021 to explore the opportunities and challenges associated with High-temperature reactors for industrial heat applications.

Techniquement, les réacteurs nucléaires de fission, qu’ils soient en service ou en cours de construction, peuvent fournir des produits autres que l’électricité. Cependant, alors que les applications ...

Technically, nuclear fission reactors in operation or being built can supply non-electricity products. However, while non-electrical applications have been considered since the very beginning of nucl...

As growing demand for energy has prompted an ever-increasing use of fossil fuels, the resulting issues of energy security and climate change have led to renewed interest in the use of hydrogen as an ...

The high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is a Generation IV reactor concept that uses a graphitemoderated gas-cooled nuclear reactor with a once-through uranium fuel cycle. This design permits ...

The objective of the Ad hoc Expert Group is to develop a standardised methodology for assessing the technical and economic case for nuclear cogeneration.
