Part of the broader nuclear power problem is that countries facing energy supply issues haven\u2019t kept up their facilities, or have abandoned the technology altogether. Decommissioning these plants has added costs, too.<\/p>\n

Now, as the pressure rises to find alternative sources to reduce Europe\u2019s heavy reliance on Russian gas, there\u2019s little that can be done in a short period of time. French state-owned firm Electricite de France is exploring keeping two of its United Kingdom plants open for longer, as it also struggles to run them efficiently. Germany will make some of its facilities available to get it through the colder months.<\/p>\n

The ability to tap existing nuclear resources is set to help\u00a0dynamics across the world: The head of the International Energy Agency recently said\u00a0Japan\u2019s restart of\u00a0more nuclear power plants would help\u00a0ease\u00a0energy supply issues because global gas availability\u00a0would rise.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t to say that South Korea has got its nuclear bet totally right – it\u2019s had its\u00a0fair share of hitches\u00a0in the domestic industry. As with facilities elsewhere in the world, there are questions around how it will manage the waste.<\/p>\n

Still, it has been working on a near-surface disposal system, which would alleviate concerns about radioactive waste material. NuScale\u2019s reactors, for instance, use fuel that is consistent with the type used in the light pressurised water-type reactors employed\u00a0today.<\/p>\n

The US has been safely storing it\u00a0for more than six decades. In addition, newer modules are developing designs that could reduce the overall inventory of spent quantities.<\/p>\n

Seoul has shown there are\u00a0ways to fix the energy crisis – or at least, make it better. Other nations should take note.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
