Oil Economy Focus Rapid Review
US Energy Secretary Rick Perry entered into a “new era” of nuclear power development with France, using the state visit by French President Emmanuel Macron to sign a joint agreement to advance nuclear and clean energy. Research and development cooperation between the two countries will focus on enhanced collaboration in the area of advanced fast neutron sodium-cooled nuclear reactor technologies and new collaboration in artificial intelligence. The power plant technology is considered safer than conventional water-cooled power plants, with greater output. The plants also can be scaled down for smaller applications, such as powering a small village.
