Flexible Nuclear Energy for Clean Energy Systems

Clean low-emission energy systems will increasingly need flexible energy technologies tailored for an individual country's energy resources, infrastructure, and social objectives. While solutions may be unique, the diversity of experience from various countries can help create innovative approaches. Hybrid renewable and flexible nuclear energy systems are a solution explored by the countries and organizations of the Nuclear Innovation: Clean Energy Future (NICE Future) initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial. We found that operational, product, and deployment flexibility could help expand clean energy systems globally.
