The world’s first AP1000 power reactor (developed by US-based Westinghouse) was connected to the grid at Sanmen in China and generated electricity for the first time on Saturday 30th June. This came a day after the world’s first EPR (developed by France’s Framatome) was connected at Taishan, also in China. The official start of electricity production from these two advanced reactors marks the beginning of a new chapter for the global nuclear industry. It is also a proud day for China’s burgeoning nuclear sector and testimony to the rich benefits of international cooperation in nuclear innovation.
World Nuclear Association congratulates all involved with the Taishan 1 EPR nuclear power reactor project on the announcement that the reactor has been connected to the grid and is starting to deliver electricity.
The UAE Organising Committee of the 24th World Energy Congress and World Nuclear Association announced today the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), focussed on endorsing progression in energy transition and supporting nuclear technology during the 24th World Energy Congress to take place in Abu Dhabi in 2019.
World Nuclear Association is pleased to announce that it will be a ‘Knowledge Partner’ to the 24th World Energy Congress as part of a Memorandum of Understanding signed with the organising committee today. The memorandum is a welcome example of nuclear energy being represented in leading international dialogues on clean energy.
Energy ministers today endorsed nuclear energy’s role in a future clean energy mix at an initiative launched during the Clean Energy Ministerial in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Nuclear Innovation: Clean Energy Future (NICE Future) initiative will facilitate dialogue and cooperation between all clean energy communities, including nuclear and renewables.
A surge in new nuclear plants coming online is helping reduce emissions and meet electricity demand, but much more is needed to achieve a sustainable energy mix, said Agneta Rising, speaking on the opening day of Atomexpo 2018.
A ceremony has marked the completion of construction of unit 1 at Barakah , the first nuclear power plant to be constructed in United Arab Emirates (UAE). Agneta Rising, Director General of World Nuclear Association said, “This is an important step towards start-up of the first reactor at Barakah. The UAE will soon benefit from the reliable supply of clean electricity that Barakah will produce.”
