Nuclear Electricity’s Full Life-Cycle Carbon Emissions Per kWh Comparable To Renewables…But Is Reliable

Nuclear power plants produce no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, and over the course of its life-cycle, nuclear produces about the same amount of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per unit of electricity as wind, and one third of the emissions per unit of electricity when compared with solar.
Governments and industry are embracing nuclear power

  • European Union taxonomy approved nuclear as an environmentally sustainable investment
  • US Nuclear Security Act to fund US$2.7 billion to bolster the US domestic nuclear fuel production and speed up nuclear regulatory process
  • Ontario & Saskatchewan to work with GE Hitachi to build its BXWR-300 Small Modular Reactor (“SMR”) at the Darlington facility in Ontario and at a location in Saskatchewan TBD
  • TerraPower is constructing it’s Natrium SMR at a former coal-fired power plant in Wyoming with financial assistance of the US DOE
