Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy For the fifth year in a row, the international atomic energy agency (iaea) has revised up its projections for the expansion of nuclear power, as global momentum continues to build behind this clean and secure source of energy The iaea assists its member states in using nuclear science and technology for peaceful purposes and facilitates the transfer of such technology and knowledge in a sustainable manner to member states.
Why the possibility of a nuclear leak in Pakistan scared everyone!
The iaea fosters the efficient and safe use of nuclear power by supporting existing and new nuclear programmes around the world, catalysing innovation and building capacity in energy planning, analysis, and nuclear information and knowledge management
The agency helps countries meet growing energy demand for development, while improving energy security, reducing environmental and health.
The international atomic energy agency (iaea) has revised up its annual projections for the expansion of nuclear power for a fourth successive year World nuclear capacity is now projected to increase by 2.5 times the current capacity by 2050, in the iaea’s high case scenario, including a. The 45th edition of reference data series no 1 contains estimates of energy, electricity and nuclear power trends up to the year 2050
In deriving the nuclear capacity projections, all operating reactors, possible licence renewals, planned shutdowns, power uprates and plausible construction projects foreseen for the next few decades were. In future we will see even more nuclear deliver the clean, reliable, and secure power the world needs. Hosted by romania on 24 and 25 june 2025, this major exercise will simulate a severe nuclear emergency at the cernavoda nuclear power plant, offering a unique opportunity to test and strengthen global preparedness and response mechanisms.
