Nuclear Generation IV power plants
In Short
Nuclear power plants have the potential to provide base-load electricity without CO2 emissions.
A Few Details
Phasing out nuclear power plants would necessitate a significant increase in solar and wind power plants, along with the required energy storage solutions.
However, expanding nuclear power generation faces the challenge of limited uranium reserves, which has historically hindered the large-scale deployment of nuclear facilities.[1]
There is optimism that Generation IV nuclear power plants, expected to be operational by 2030, will offer a solution by generating clean electricity with reduced uranium consumption and lower radioactive waste production.
