The Nuclear Technology Review 2025 covers the following select areas: nuclear power, nuclear fuel cycle, decommissioning, environmental remediation and radioactive waste management, fusion research and technology development for future energy production, research reactors, particle accelerators and nuclear instrumentation, atomic and nuclear data, application of artificial intelligence in ...
Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms split into several parts – or fusion – when nuclei fuse together. The nuclear energy harnessed ...
Nuclear energy provides access to clean, reliable and affordable electricity. It accounts for around 9% of global electricity and 25% of all low-carbon electricity without emitting greenhouse gases at the point of generation. According to the IAEA projections, global nuclear operational capacity ...
The IAEA is the world's centre for cooperation in the nuclear field, promoting the safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear technology. It works in a wide range of areas including energy generation, health, food and agriculture and environmental protection.
The articles and videos on this page offer easy-to-understand explanations of major topics in nuclear science and technology. The many peaceful uses of nuclear technology have a beneficial impact on our everyday lives – from energy production and food security to health care and the protection of ...
Nuclear power delivers low-carbon, reliable electricity. As more countries aim for net-zero emissions, nuclear energy is increasingly seen as a crucial partner to renewable sources like wind and solar. The IAEA’s Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) tracks the status of nuclear power reactors ...
