International Symposium on the Deployment of Floating Nuclear Power Plants

International Atomic Energy Agency

|

November 14, 2023

Achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 will require large scale deployment of all low carbon energy sources, including nuclear power. Various studies confirm that nuclear power has a significant role to play in combating climate change and meeting increasing energy demand worldwide, but this will require that nuclear power plants be deployed at a larger scale than is currently the case. The international deployment of floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) offers new opportunities but also presents challenges, including the evaluation of international and national legal issues and institutional aspects. Terra Praxis' Co-CEO, Kirsty Gogan, was invited to give remarks and moderate the opening session on: The Emerging Potential of Floating Nuclear Power Plants.

The mining and burning of coal is worsening the effects of the climate crisis. We all know that. However, can we do something about the coal processing plants themselves? Can these dirty coal plants be retrofitted to process fossil-free energy instead of dirty energy? It may surprise you to know that the answer is yes. This article was written by Anthropocene for We Don't Have Time, after the Reuters SMR & Advanced Reactor Conference, where Kirsty Gogan highlighted the need to optimize existing infrastructure, utilize current transmission systems, transfer skills, and act swiftly to mitigate risks of the energy transition.
