We Are Innovation is proud to present our latest briefing paper “Nuclear Power: International Revival, Energy Security, and Tech Integration” examining the resurgence of nuclear energy in Europe and its growing intersection with technological innovation.
As nations grapple with energy security challenges and climate goals, nuclear power is experiencing a remarkable revival. Our new research, authored by Gabriele Marmonti and Beatriz Santos, provides crucial insights into this transformation, from the contrasting approaches in European energy policies to the emergence of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and the growing synergy between nuclear power and artificial intelligence.
Key Findings:
- While Germany faces challenges from its nuclear phase-out, multiple European nations are actively expanding their nuclear capabilities
- Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are emerging as a game-changing technology, with Central and Eastern Europe leading their development
- Tech giants are increasingly turning to nuclear power to meet the growing energy demands of AI and data centers
The paper provides valuable recommendations for policymakers and industry leaders, emphasizing the importance of investing in SMR technology, workforce development, and international collaboration.
