Today nuclear power produces 11 of the world s electricity. Nuclear power plants produce virtually no greenhouse gases or air pollutants during their operation. Emissions over their entire life cycle are very low. Nuclear energy s potential is essential to achieving a deeply decarbonized energy future in many regions of the world as of today and for decades to come the main value of nuclear energy lies in its potential contribution to decarbonizing the power sector. Nuclear energy s future role however is highly uncertain for several reasons chiefly escalating costs and the persistence of historical challenges such as spent fuel and radioactive waste management. Advanced nuclear fuel recycling technologies can enable full use of natural energy resources while minimizing proliferation concerns as well as the volume and longevity of nuclear waste. Partitioning and Transmutation P amp T has been pointed out in numerous studies as the strategy that can relax constraints on geological disposal . by reducing the waste radiotoxicity and the footprint of the underground facility.
