- What is Nuclear Energy? The Science of Nuclear Power
What is nuclear fission? Nuclear fission is a reaction where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, while releasing energy For instance, when hit by a neutron, the nucleus of an atom of uranium-235 splits into two smaller nuclei, for example a barium nucleus and a krypton nucleus and two or three neutrons
- Nuclear power and climate change | IAEA
Nuclear power is a low-carbon source of energy In 2018, nuclear power produced about 10 percent of the world’s electricity Together with the expanding renewable energy sources and fuel switching from coal to gas, higher nuclear power production contributed to the levelling of global CO 2 emissions at 33 gigatonnes in 2019 1
- International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Nuclear Energy
Objectives The principal objective of the International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Nuclear Energy will be to bring together relevant stakeholders to review and explore opportunities for cooperation and mutual benefit towards the use of nuclear energy to power data centres, including for enabling AI’s expansion, and the use of AI to drive innovation and efficiencies in the
- What is Nuclear Fusion? - International Atomic Energy Agency
Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy Fusion reactions take place in a state of matter called plasma — a hot, charged gas made of positive ions and free-moving electrons with unique properties distinct from solids, liquids or gases
- IAEA Mission Reviews China’s Regulatory Framework for Nuclear Safety
Arrangements for regular, high-level exchanges with all senior industry stakeholders on domestic and global nuclear safety developments, ensuring a common understanding on nuclear safety priorities and required improvements across China’s nuclear industry
