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.

This panel discussion, a collaboration of #AtomicAllies (ANS, NAYGN, U.S. WIN, and NEI), featured some of the brightest stars of the industry sharing their keys to success.
Rosemary Yeremian, an experienced professional with 25 years in the industry, published the book “Step Up: The Key to Succeeding in Male-Dominated Businesses.” Rosemary shared lessons from her book and moderated a panel discussion of fellow leaders around strategies and tactics to help women of these nuclear organizations succeed in their careers. They shared lessons learned, personal experiences, and informative anecdotes.
In addition to providing insights on how to move your career forward in nuclear energy, the panel offered tools and resources to become your own brand ambassador and a more effective leader.
ANS, NAYGN, U.S. WIN, and NEI signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in 2020 to strengthen their collaboration in advancing nuclear energy and science, professional development, and member networking to support industry priorities and benefit their individual members.
