Smarter waste strategies: Helping deliver on the promise of advanced nuclear
At COP28, held in Dubai in 2023, a clear consensus emerged: Nuclear energy must be a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. With electricity demand projected to soar as we decarbonize not just power but also industry, transport, and heat, the case for new nuclear is compelling. More than 20 countries committed to tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050. In the United States alone, the Department of Energy forecasts that the country’s current nuclear capacity could more than triple, adding 200 GW of new nuclear to the existing 95 GW by mid-century.

Calculations of the energy loss rates from the unified theory are compared with those of other theories (e.g., binary collision theory and the wave theory) to study the accuracy and validity of each theory under various plasma regimes. The unified theory combines the binary collision theory and the collective wave theory, and is more accurate for wide ranges of plasma parameters and for entire interaction ranges (0 ≤ r ≤ ∞). Moreover, the present unified slowing down formalism is not any more complicated than the widely used binary collisional treatment and, consequently, it provides a usable expression in the study of energetic charged fusion product transport in both magnetic and inertial fusion plasmas.
