Nuclear

Nuclear energy provides a stable and efficient power source, contributing to energy security. By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, it promotes a sustainable and diversified energy portfolio for the future while significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the impact of climate change.

​Nuclear energy is harnessed by controlled fission reactions in a reactor, producing heat. This heat is used to generate steam, which drives turbines connected to generators, ultimately converting it into electricity for the grid.

​Nuclear energy's high capacity factor, often exceeding 90%, surpasses many renewables, ensuring consistent power generation. Global nuclear power capacity stands at approximately 413 GW, contributing around 10% of the world's electricity production.

​Nuclear energy poses challenges, including radioactive waste disposal, safety concerns, high initial costs, and public skepticism, hindering its widespread acceptance despite its potential benefits.
