America's Georgia Power announced on July 31, 2023 that the 1,117-MW AP1000 Generation III+ pressurised water reactor unit had completed testing and is now sending power to the grid reliably. https://media.assettype.com/gulfnews/2024-11-18/c5948g27/Nuclear_power_SMR_18a995e6f70_original_ratio.jpg Nuclear power could be set for a “new dawn”, says the International Energy Agency (IAEA). Some compelling reasons: high reliability, and zero CO2 emissions. Countries that count on nuclear power for more than half of their electricity generation include France (72%), Slovakia (55%) and Hungary (53%); it’s more than 18% in the US and 20% in Russia. A growing interest in small modular reactors (SMR) indicate nuclear power is poised for a resurgence — across the world. Photo shows young bikers next to a full-scale nuclear power plant in France.
