Nuclear power as part of the transition to clean energy (Source: IA)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Nuclear power is one of the first energy sources to send the least greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere<\/a> in the production of electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuclear power accounts for about 10% of the world's electricity and almost 30% of the world's low-carbon electricity. According to the International Energy Agency, the use of nuclear power has reduced carbon dioxide emissions by more than 60 gigatonnes in the last 50 years, equivalent to almost two years of nuclear-related emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuclear power can operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and can therefore guarantee continuous and reliable supply. Moreover, much of the world's nuclear fleet and new generations of reactors can operate flexibly in response to fluctuations in energy demand and provide stability to electricity grids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reactors already exist that can provide district heating and some nuclear power plants are being designed to provide non-electric services, such as hydrogen production, which can help decarbonize other sectors such as transport and industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continued research and development in nuclear technologies are helping to make nuclear energy a more efficient, affordable, and attractive option for decarbonization and part of a transition from an energy mix in many countries that rely mostly on fossil fuels to one that includes clean energy, including nuclear energy.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
