the global energy mix, contributing significantly to the reduction of carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>440 operational reactors in operation in 32 countries.<\/li>\n<li>55 reactors under construction.<\/li>\n<li>109 planned reactors.<\/li>\n<li>Nuclear energy provides 50% of the energy with low carbon emissions in the European Union and over 30% of all the energy produced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Top 4 countries with most reactors in operation (network connected):<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>United States: 94 reactors<\/li>\n<li>China: 56

achieving the global net zero goal.By constantly generating clean and reliable energy, nuclear energy contributes to reducing fossil fuel dependence and ensuring a stable energy source.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of nuclear energy, it is <strong>cleanse<\/strong> (produces very low carbon emissions), <strong>SAFE<\/strong> (modern technology of reactors and very strict safety measures), <strong>predictable <\/strong>(provides a stable and continuous source of energy, regardless of weather or season conditions), <strong>reliability<\/strong> (nuclear power plants work non-stop) and <strong>ensures security and energy independence <\/strong>(nuclear energy reduces dependence on energy imports).<\/p>\n<p>Recent, <strong>Nuclear energy has been included in European Union Taxonomy<\/strong> for sustainable financing.It recognizes the essential role of nuclear energy in the transition to a low carbon economy and opens the way for investments in sustainable nuclear projects.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the impact in society, nuclear energy ensures energy strength, creates jobs, from the operation of the boiler and on the entire supply and research chain.By default, it also leads to economic development, nuclear projects attracting major investments.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6976\"
