Top ‘Nuclear Explained’ Reads in 2024 | IAEA
Nuclear energy was in the spotlight in 2024 as the IAEA and the Government of Belgium organized the world’s first Nuclear Energy Summit, and the IAEA raised its projections for nuclear electrical generation for the fourth year in a row. Our explainer on nuclear energy was the most read in English and in all the other UN languages. Read it here.
What is Nuclear Energy? The Science of Nuclear Power
What is nuclear fission? Nuclear fission is a reaction where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, while releasing energy. For instance, when hit by a neutron, the nucleus of an atom of uranium-235 splits into two smaller nuclei, for example a barium nucleus and a krypton nucleus and two or three neutrons.

Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy. Fusion reactions take place in a state of matter called plasma — a hot, charged gas made of positive ions and free-moving electrons with unique properties distinct from solids, liquids or gases.
Nuclear Data Services | IAEA
The IAEA provides fundamental nuclear data for energy and non-energy applications, as well as atomic data for fusion energy research. Reliable atomic and nuclear data are essential ingredients in a wide range of applications, including the design and operation of nuclear power plants, management of ...
Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power Estimates for the Period up to ...
The 45th edition of Reference Data Series No. 1 contains estimates of energy, electricity and nuclear power trends up to the year 2050. In deriving the nuclear capacity projections, all operating reactors, possible licence renewals, planned shutdowns, power uprates and plausible construction projects foreseen for the next few decades were ...
Nuclear Energy in the Clean Energy Transition
Nuclear energy is still providing the world with a quarter of its low-carbon power and supporting the roll out of intermittent renewables like solar and wind. In future we will see even more nuclear deliver the clean, reliable, and secure power the world needs.
Nuclear power and climate change | IAEA
Nuclear power is a low-carbon source of energy. In 2018, nuclear power produced about 10 percent of the world’s electricity. Together with the expanding renewable energy sources and fuel switching from coal to gas, higher nuclear power production contributed to the levelling of global CO 2 emissions at 33 gigatonnes in 2019 1/.
LiveChart of Nuclides – Advanced version | International Atomic Energy ...
LiveChart is an interactive chart that presents the nuclear structure and decay properties of all known nuclides through a user-friendly graphical interface. Most of the accessible data are taken from the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF), which is the most authoritative and up-to-date ...
Nuclear energy, safe use of nuclear power | IAEA
The IAEA fosters the efficient and safe use of nuclear power by supporting existing and new nuclear programmes around the world, catalysing innovation and building capacity in energy planning, analysis, and nuclear information and knowledge management. The Agency helps countries meet growing energy demand for development, while improving energy security, reducing environmental and health ...
