what is hydro nuclear energy and energy?
Answers
Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions.
Answer:
Nuclear energy grows throughout the Outlook in all three scenarios, as strong growth in China offsets weak or falling nuclear power generation in the developed world.
Nuclear generation grows robustly in Rapid and Net Zero, increasing by around 100% and 160% respectively by 2050. China accounts for around 60% of this growth in Rapid – and 40% in Net Zero – as China continues to diversify away from coal towards a lower carbon fuel mix in the power sector. The share of nuclear power in China’s power generation increases from around 4% in 2018 to more than 15% by 2050 in both scenarios. Nuclear power generation also increases in India, Other Asia and Africa.
