11 Ιουν 2024 · Nuclear energy protects air quality by producing massive amounts of carbon-free electricity. It powers communities in 28 U.S. states and contributes to many non-electric applications, ranging from the medical field to space exploration .
Here are 5 ways nuclear powers our lives. 1. Space Exploration. A great deal of what we know about deep space has been made possible by radioisotope power systems (RPSs). These small nuclear power sources are used to power spaceships in the extreme environments of deep space.
31 Μαρ 2021 · So, just how clean and sustainable is nuclear? Try these quick facts for starters. 1. Nuclear energy protects air quality. McGuire Nuclear Station located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Duke Energy. Nuclear is a zero-emission clean energy source.
25 Ιαν 2024 · According to a 2022 report from the International Energy Agency (IEA): “Nuclear energy can help make the energy sector's journey away from unabated fossil fuels faster and more secure.” Wind and solar are expected to lead the push to replace fossil fuels.
28 Μαΐ 2019 · Nuclear power and hydropower form the backbone of low-carbon electricity generation. Together, they provide three-quarters of global low-carbon generation. Over the past 50 years, the use of nuclear power has reduced CO2 emissions by over 60 gigatonnes – nearly two years’ worth of global energy-related emissions.
18 Οκτ 2021 · Nuclear energy generates about 10 per cent of the world's electricity, and after hydropower, it is the world's second largest source of low-carbon power, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). Nuclear can also be utilized to decarbonize non-electric applications.
10 Ιουλ 2020 · Zero carbon, zero intermittency. Image: REUTERS/Dylan Martinez. Nuclear energy - a zero-carbon source - provides 10% of the world's electricity. As the world transitions to clean energy, nuclear can offset the intermittency inherent in wind and solar energy - but innovation is needed.
