Nuclear provided 62 percent of grid-delivered power in Ontario last year; hydro 24 percent; and wind 4 percent (solar was negligible). It was one of the key factors in helping Ontario end electricity generation from goal. Nuclear energy also provided 31 percent of New Brunswick\u2019s electricity last year, all from a single reactor.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, President Barack Obama is committed to using every appropriate tool to combat climate change, including nuclear energy.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the White House hosted a Summit on Nuclear Energy and stated \u201cthe continued development of new and advanced nuclear technologies along with support for currently operating nuclear power plants is an important component of our clean energy strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis nuclear foundation enables solar and wind technologies to integrate progressively into the electricity system,\u201d said Dr. Barrett. \u201cCanada has proven examples that other countries could consider.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nuclear energy is one of the few currently available energy options already proven to be effective and implementable on a large scale. Today it provides 11 percent of global electricity.<\/p>\n<p>According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), nuclear energy since 1971 has avoided 56 Gt of emissions \u2013 equal to nearly two years of global GHG emissions.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/publications\/freepublications\/publication\/weo-2015-special-report-energy-climate-change.html\">recent IEA study<\/a> said that a doubling of nuclear-generated electricity by 2040 would help the world to limit the rise in the average global temperature to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.<\/p>\n<p>The IEA said such an investment would help avoid four years\u2019 worth of global CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The agency also called for major investments in renewable energies and carbon capture and sequestration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNuclear energy is clearly part of the solution,\u201d said Dr. Barrett. \u201cNot only does it help reduce carbon dioxide emissions, but it also provides better energy security, affordable electricity, clean air, and opportunities to advance economic development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s nuclear industry employs 60,000 people who mine uranium, fabricate fuel, design and build reactors, generate electricity, manage spent fuel, advance nuclear medicine, enable advanced manufacturing, and improve food production and safety.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">-30-<\/p>\n<p>For more information:<\/p>\n<p>Malcolm Bernard<br \/>\nDirector of Communications<br \/>\n613-237-4262<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OTTAWA (November 26, 2015) \u2013 The Canadian Nuclear Association (CNA) today called on the federal government to support nuclear energy as a clean energy source at the Paris climate talks. \u201cCanada should ensure any decisions or protocols recognize nuclear energy as a low-carbon solution to combat climate change,\u201d said CNA President and CEO Dr. John [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"topic":[],"class_list":["post-13916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-non-classifiee"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
