The National Energy Dominance Council will advise on how the USA can produce more energy - with a remit that includes advising the president on the reopening of closed power plants, and bringing small modular reactors online.

The Blue Book Nuclear Energy To Support Low Carbon is a unique collaborative work by China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) and France’s EDF, sharing their experience to highlight nuclear’s role in the energy transition, explains the editorial committee leader of the Blue Book at EDF, Antoine Herzog, in this Q&A.

The UK's Office for Nuclear Regulation has completed inspections at five nuclear sites to assess arrangements for, and resilience to, climate change effects.

The world is paying a price for letting "lingering concerns about safety and ideological opposition" deter governments from constructing new nuclear power plants, according to the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. If the ambitious approach to nuclear deployment had continued, it says, the world would have saved 28.9 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide since 1991. 

Did the COP29 climate conference achieve its goals? What role did nuclear energy play in the event? Why was so much focus already turning to COP30, which is due to take place in Brazil in 2025?

At the COP29 UN climate change conference taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan, six more countries - El Salvador, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kosovo, Nigeria and Turkey - have added their support for the tripling of global nuclear energy capacity by 2050.

As the US Administration unveils its roadmap for the deployment of 200 GW of nuclear capacity by 2050, the White House's Senior Advisor to the President for International Climate Policy, John Podesta, says US momentum for the clean energy transition - including new nuclear - is not going to be reversed.

Seeing nuclear as a flexible energy source - producing electricity, hydrogen and heat with large-scale energy storage - rather than merely as a source of baseload power means it can complement the variability of renewables without the need for back-up natural gas power plants, a new report from the Dalton Nuclear Institute says.

Nuclear will play an important role in the UK achieving a clean power system by 2030 and beyond with life extensions for the current fleet and a new generation of nuclear plants, according to independent energy system planner and operator, the National Energy System Operator (NESO).
