Indeed, it is understandable why people might fear radiation given that you can’t see it – yet the same can be said of the air that we breathe. Indeed, nuclear allows the opportunity to decarbonize all energy, not just electricity.

But as I showed in my 2013 and 2021 reports, the hype surrounding SMRs is way overblown, and my conclusions remain valid today. According to the economies of scale principle, smaller reactors will in general produce more expensive electricity than larger ones. What are SMRs?

At RePlanet Nederland, we are delighted that the European Commission has proposed, on December 31, 2021, to include nuclear energy in the sustainable finance taxonomy. Yet, we believe that in its current form the proposal would underachieve the goal of encouraging private investment in nuclear energy as a sustainable activity.

When they fuse, they release a helium atom, a single energetic neutron, and a tremendous amount of energy which (it is hoped) will be harnessed to cleanly generate electricity.
