NEA projections show that in order to successfully achieve net zero by 2050, nuclear energy capacity will need to at least double and potentially triple compared to today. As a result, the topic of n...

NEA delegation participates in discussions at the Regulatory Information Conference in Washington D.C.

The COP27 NEA delegation were at the forefront of several discussions on the pathways that nuclear energy can offer to reduce carbon emissions.

The NEA participated in COP 26 in Glasgow, United Kingdom, to shed light on nuclear energy’s role in addressing climate change.

The International Framework for Nuclear Energy Cooperation (IFNEC) will host its first Ministerial Conference since the COVID-19 pandemic on 1-3 November 2023. Organised in co-operation with the Ghan...

As a low-carbon electricity source, nuclear energy has a role to play in global climate change mitigation efforts.

The Ad hoc Expert Group on Climate Change: Assessment of the Vulnerability of Nuclear Power Plants and Cost of Adaptation (NUCA) was responsible for assesing the vulnerability of nuclear power plants...

All low-carbon solutions will be required to achieve the world's net zero targets. Nuclear energy has a role to play in meeting this need. A wave of innovation in small modular reactors (SMRs) is adv...

NEA article from the Nuclear-Hydrogen Digest: Nuclear Energy in the Hydrogen Economy, published by NICE Future and the NEA.

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are gaining recognition among policymakers and industry players as a promising nuclear technology. SMRs can be defined as nuclear reactors with a power output between 10...

Organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Climate and Environment of Poland, the conference gathered stakeholders in Warsaw on 8 December.

Nuclear innovation in small modular reactors (SMRs) has the potential to address multiple energy policy priorities around the world, from decarbonising electricity and deep decarbonisation of hard-to...

NEA News is the professional journal of the NEA. It features articles on the latest nuclear energy issues concerning the economic and technical aspects of nuclear energy, nuclear safety and regulatio...

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are nuclear reactors with power output less than 300 megawatts electric (MWe), with some as small as 1-10 MWe.

Under the Paris Agreement, OECD countries agreed to aim for a reduction of their greenhouse gas emissions sufficient to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre...

All credible models show that nuclear energy has an important role to play in global climate change mitigation efforts (e.g. IEA, 2021; BNEF, 2021; IIASA, 2021). Despite clear analyses from many sour...

With an electricity system defined by high shares of hydropower, large capacity for interconnection with its neighbours and low carbon intensity, Switzerland is well positioned to attain its objectiv...

The concept of sustainable development, which emerged from the report of the 1987 World Commission on Environment and Development (the Brundtland report), is of increasing interest to policy makers a...
