The Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy Act of 2024, or the ADVANCE Act of 2024, is a piece of legislation passed by the 118th United States Congress to accelerate the development of generation IV nuclear reactor technology and keep existing United States nuclear electric power plants online.
Gas-cooled fast reactor scheme. The gas-cooled fast reactor (GFR) system is a nuclear reactor design which is currently in development.Classed as a Generation IV reactor, it features a fast-neutron spectrum and closed fuel cycle for efficient conversion of fertile uranium and management of actinides.
The Forum was initiated in January 2000 by the Office of Nuclear Energy of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) [15] "as a co-operative international endeavour seeking to develop the research necessary to test the feasibility and performance of fourth generation nuclear systems, and to make them available for industrial deployment by 2030."
Vogtle is now the largest U.S. source of clean energy, the White House said. Nuclear energy accounts for about 19% of U.S. power generation, compared with 4% for solar and 10% for wind.
The world is desperate for a clean, abundant source of energy that can replace fossil fuels as an always-available baseload power: nuclear fusion promises to be just that.
A project to build a first-of-a-kind small modular nuclear reactor power plant was terminated Wednesday, another blow to the Biden administration's clean energy agenda following cancellations last ...
[209] She supports regulations implemented by the EPA, based on her bipartisan legislation, to increase clean water standards. [210] In March 2023, Capito introduced the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy (ADVANCE) Act of 2023 in support of generation IV reactor technology and nuclear development in general.
A Department of Energy video of the Versatile Test Reactor concept. Four national laboratories, Idaho National Laboratory, Argonne National Lab, Los Alamos National Lab, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory worked with universities and commercial industry to come up with conceptual designs, costs and schedule estimates, and support.
