UPSC Syllabus:<\/strong> GS Paper 3 \u2013 Infrastructure – Energy<\/p>\n

News: <\/strong>The first-ever Nuclear Energy Summit was held recently in Brussels. The summit highlights nuclear energy’s role in combating climate change.<\/p>\n

What is the present status of nuclear energy?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

India’s current nuclear capacity offers cost-effective and reliable energy, yet contributes only a minor fraction to the renewable mix.<\/p>\n

The Nuclear Energy Summit is an initiative in collaboration with the IAEA\u2019s \u2018Atoms4Netzero\u2019 programme. It is a part of the multilateral approach to decarbonisation.<\/p>\n

Global Nuclear Infrastructure consists of 440 reactors worldwide and significant growth in Asia, particularly China.<\/p>\n

What is the Significance of Nuclear Energy in Combating Climate Change?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Environmental advantages: <\/strong>COP28 recognized nuclear energy’s capacity to significantly reduce carbon emissions, compared to solar farms and other renewable sources. The declaration at the conference agreed for tripling nuclear capacity by 2050.<\/p>\n

Source of continuous energy: <\/strong>It can become a source to provide uninterrupted energy, without any geographical limitation.<\/p>\n

Economic Advantages:<\/strong> With lower operating costs, smaller land requirements, and longer life cycles, nuclear power stands out among renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n

However, there’s a significant gap in nuclear energy financing from Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and private investors.<\/p>\n

What are the financing mechanisms and technological advancement opportunities in the nuclear energy field?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Small Modular Reactors (SMR) and extended fuel cycles enhance safety and efficiency. Which reduces nuclear-related risks and opens the industry to private investment.<\/p>\n

Successful Cooperative Funding Models from France, South Korea, Russia, and the U.K. demonstrate the viability of cooperative funding models.<\/p>\n

Recent liberalization efforts, including invitations for private investment and plans for substantial capacity expansion. It signals a promising future for India’s nuclear energy sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
