Liebreich: We Need To Talk About Nuclear Power

By Bloomberg New Energy Finance

In his latest post on the Bloomberg New Energy Finance blog, Former BNEF CEO Michael Liebreich has decided that its time to talk ... about nuclear. "Serious people are finally talking about decarbonizing national economies by mid-century, but such talk must be accompanied by credible plans – and no plan can be considered credible if it does not deal explicitly with nuclear power," Liebreich writes. In the piece, Liebrich cites the progress of small modular reactor developers, including Terrestrial Energy. "In November 2017, Terrestrial Energy’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor – designed to deliver 400MW of thermal output or 190MW of power – completed the first phase of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission’s regulatory pre-licensing review," he notes.

CBC The National: How nuclear power could be a climate change solution

By CBC The National

Terrestrial Energy is featured in this CBC The National program at how Canada is positioning itself as a leader in nuclear power by exploring the use of small modular reactors. Already some environmentalists have decided to support nuclear energy for its carbon-free attributes. Terrestrial Energy is confident that once Canadians see its technology in action, they will be able to change more minds, the CBC notes. "Advanced nuclear can deliver on the nuclear promise, which is enormous amounts of clean energy at a cost-competitive price," says CEO Simon Irish. Learn more about How small modular reactors work.
