IAEA again raises global nuclear power projections
Noting recent momentum behind nuclear power, the International Atomic Energy Agency has revised up its projections for the expansion of nuclear power, estimating that global nuclear operational capacity will more than double by 2050—reaching 2.6 times the 2024 level—with small modular reactors expected to play a pivotal role in this high-case scenario.
IAEA director general Rafael Mariano Grossi announced the new projections, contained in the annual report Energy, Electricity, and Nuclear Power Estimates for the Period up to 2050 at the 69th IAEA General Conference in Vienna.
In the report’s high-case scenario, nuclear electrical generating capacity is projected to increase to from 377 GW at the end of 2024 to 992 GW by 2050. In a low-case scenario, capacity rises 50 percent, compared with 2024, to 561 GW. SMRs are projected to account for 24 percent of the new capacity added in the high case and for 5 percent in the low case.

As a mentor, the same relationship can be incredibly rewarding and provide additional meaning to your work in knowing that you contribute to the future success of the industry. It can also help you stay up to date with the latest developments in the field. Building lasting mentoring relationships, however, can seem daunting and challenging. It shouldn’t be! Join this panel discussion to learn how to develop effective mentoring relationships that are mutually beneficial, last years on end, and fit your style. This panel will bring together mentors and mentees from academia, industry, and U.S. national laboratories to answer questions and share their stories and advice. Join the discussion, and start building stronger mentoring relationships!
