We applaud Amazon’s recent announcement of new investments in advanced nuclear technologies as part of their Climate Pledge. At Mirion, we are extremely proud of the continued work of our teams in partnership with X-energy to develop the innovative Burn Up Measurement System integral to their Xe-100 reactors. https://lnkd.in/er4eCFQ3 Our expertise in radiation safety and measurement solutions not only enhances the efficiency and sustainability of these reactors but also underscores our dedication to pioneering low-carbon energy technologies. #SMR #SustainableEnergy #Innovation
?? Breaking: Amazon makes new investments in advanced nuclear technology to help address energy needs. ?? We’ve signed innovative new agreements to help develop a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) project in Washington State with Energy Northwest and explore a second in Virginia with Dominion Energy. These projects will provide net-new carbon-free energy to the grid and help power our operations, which is part of our Climate Pledge commitment to reach net-zero carbon by 2040. Unlike traditional nuclear plants, SMRs take up less space and can come online quicker to help address our society’s growing energy needs. In addition, we’re making an investment through our Climate Pledge Fund in X-energy to develop the next generation of SMR technology and fuel, which will help bring more than five gigawatts of new nuclear energy to the grid over the next 15 years. Enough to power ~4 million U.S. homes. We view our investment in nuclear as a natural expansion of our work to advance carbon-free energy. We recently met our goal to match all the electricity consumed by our operations with 100% renewable energy. We got there by investing in more than 500 wind and solar projects globally, and while we’re proud of that achievement, we know there’s more work to be done. As society’s energy needs increase, nuclear will play an increasingly important role in how we decarbonize our power sources. Learn more our news here: https://lnkd.in/gKwxDXaK
