ABDin the country nuclear energy its capacity 2050up to tripled He announced an ambitious road map aimed at achieving With the increasing demand for carbon-free energy, nuclear energy stands out as a source that can provide energy around the clock. The demand for the energy source, which was once sought after, is increasing day by day.

USA focuses on nuclear energy

White House, 200 gigawatts by 2050 (GW) aims to add additional nuclear capacity. It is planned to reach this capacity by building new reactors, restarting existing power plants and modernizing existing facilities. In the short term, the future 35 GW in ten years The aim is to put new capacity into operation.

White House Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi stated that in the last four years, the USA has built the industrial capacity to implement this plan. Zaidi emphasized that great steps have been taken to reduce the obstacles to nuclear energy and stated that basic problems such as labor shortage, domestic fuel supply and regulatory infrastructure have been solved.

A law passed in July gave the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission new powers over issues such as oversight of advanced reactors and licensing of new types of fuel. This could pave the way for faster and lower-cost nuclear power plant construction. This US move towards nuclear energy comes ahead of the COP29 climate summit, which is expected to increase carbon emissions reduction targets. The Biden administration announced at last year’s United Nations Climate Conference that the United States had also signed the commitment to triple its nuclear energy capacity by 2050.

To achieve its nuclear goals, the US will build large reactors as well as small modular reactors and micro reactors. USA’s current Fleet of 94 reactorsIt consists of large, lightweight water-cooled reactors, mostly gigawatt-scale, using low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. Nuclear, 2023 In 2018, the installed electricity generation capacity in the USA was approximately 100 GWand total production 18 percent was forming.
