Nuclear energy is one of the major green energy sources of power that is unmatched to any other energy source. The power generated by splitting atoms of heavy Uranium elements is used to generate electricity.
Nuclear power can also be obtained from nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants. It was first developed in the 1940s, and during the Second World War research initially focused on producing bombs. In the 1950s attention turned to the peaceful use of nuclear fission, controlling it for power generation.
Civil nuclear power can now boast more than 18,000 reactor years of experience, and nuclear power plants are operational in 31 countries worldwide. In fact, through regional transmission grids, many more countries depend in part on nuclear-generated power; Italy and Denmark, for example, get almost 10% of their electricity from imported nuclear power.
When the commercial nuclear industry began in the 1960s, there were clear boundaries between the industries of the East and West. Today, the separate American and Soviet spheres no longer exist, and the nuclear industry is characterized by international commerce. A reactor under construction in Asia today may have components supplied from South Korea, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Russia, and other countries. Similarly, uranium from Australia or Namibia may end up in a reactor in the UAE, having been converted in France, enriched in the Netherlands, reconverted in the UK and fabricated in South Korea.
The uses of nuclear technology extend well beyond the provision of low-carbon energy. It helps control the spread of disease, assists doctors in their diagnosis and treatment of patients, and powers our most ambitious missions to explore space. These varied uses position nuclear technologies at the heart of the world’s efforts to achieve sustainable development.
Our firm invest in renewable energy, including nuclear energy, and service companies that support and provide services to nuclear power plants all over the world. Businesses that provide quality services to sustain nuclear power plants are contributing with great extent to maintain safe and high yield operations of green energy production as well as maintaining health and safety of the public. If you know a business owner whose business is providing services to nuclear power plants and ready to retire and wants to sell his business, have him or her contacting us. We are ready to help him plan and execute his retirement as fast as one to three months after talking to us.
