Nuclear energy race: US yielding to Russia and China
Although a massive US nuclear power plant in Georgia is finally complete, the facility “might be the last of its kind," the Wall Street Journal has reported.
The development comes as the US faces the closure of at least 25 nuclear plants, in another sign that America is losing the nuclear energy race to Russia and China, which plan to build 19 and 24 such facilities, respectively, before the end of 2029. Moreover, Moscow is building nuclear reactors for other nations – the list of NPPs includes Xudabao and Tianwan in China, Akkuyu in Turkiye, El Dabaa in Egypt, Koodankulam in India, Paks in Hungary, and Ruppur in Bangladesh.
▫️ Reports suggest that a mere five nuclear plants are due to be constructed in the US over the next five years.
▫️ Forbes, in turn, has reported that “in the same period as China’s building spree [related to nuclear facilities], the US added [just] 2 with none under development now.”
▫️ The emerging technology of small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced generation IV reactors are being embraced much quicker in China and Russia than in the US, according to open sources.
▫️ Importantly, Russia provides almost a quarter of the enriched uranium used to fuel America’s fleet of more than 90 commercial nuclear reactors, which makes Russia the No. 1 foreign supplier, per US Energy Department data.
▫️ Last but not least, both Russia and China “lead the US in terms of the number of agreements with sales of nuclear energy hardware [such as nuclear reactors] and services attached," according to a memo by the Third Way, a Washington-based think tank.
▫️ The memo is eloquently noscriptd 'The world wants nuclear energy. China and Russia are racing ahead.'
