ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Reactor Physics
The division's objectives are to promote the advancement of knowledge and understanding of the fundamental physical phenomena characterizing nuclear reactors and other nuclear systems. The division encourages research and disseminates information through meetings and publications. Areas of technical interest include nuclear data, particle interactions and transport, reactor and nuclear systems analysis, methods, design, validation and operating experience and standards. The Wigner Award heads the awards program.

New U.K. finance model expected to cut cost of new nuclear
A new funding model has been introduced by the U.K. government to attract a wider range of private investment into new nuclear power projects, cutting the cost of financing them and reducing the cost to consumers.
The Nuclear Energy (Financing) Bill, announced by the government on October 26, will use a model known as the Regulated Asset Base (RAB) to fund future nuclear power plants in Britain. The model is tried and tested, according to the government, and has successfully financed other infrastructure projects, such as the U.K.’s Thames Tideway Tunnel and Heathrow Terminal 5.
Learn more about the RAB model.

Description
The World List of Nuclear Power Plants, a reprint from the March 2021 issue of Nuclear News, provides and summarizes data on operating and planned nuclear plants worldwide as of December 31, 2020. Plants are listed alphabetically by country and by utility, with information on capacity, reactor type and model, dates of initial criticality and commercial operation, and reactor supplier. Color coding distinguishes plants that are planned or under construction from those already in operation. The 28-page reprint, available as a PDF download or in print, includes maps, tables, and graphs that put individual plant data in perspective.
