Pan-European Energy Initiatives and their implementation. Incoming Black Death as threat for Nuclear Energy Renaissance

Abstract: This work focuses on the prospects of pan-European initiatives to enhance the energy rigidity situation in Europe from the Russian Federation. Additionally, it examines the current documented changes in the retrospective on the Green Deal and its reform from within, in the narratives of strengthening the position of Nuclear Energy in Green Taxonomy. All of this is encapsulated within a palette of metaphors for the illustrious cultural Renaissance, which, as a significant event in European history, resulted from an external catastrophic catastrophe known as the Black Death. This event had a considerable influence on the subsequent release from the burdens of the past for the sake of a promising future. The work addresses several fundamental questions regarding the "European" nature of the Energy Renaissance, the pan-European initiatives themselves, and the labeling of the creation of small nuclear modular reactors of the 4th generation as a strategic stance aimed at strengthening the competitiveness of Europe in the current economic and strategic environment. The primary objective of this work is to investigate the phenomenon of Nuclear Energy Renaissance, establish a distinct terminological foundation for it, and formulate the prospects of nuclear energy in Europe. The research questions revolve around the issue of the expansion of Europe's energy crisis and the potential for nuclear energy to emerge as a viable option for the future of the EU through the deconstruction of EU Energy Policy under a New Green Taxonomy. It also questions the potential for nuclear energy to become a mainstream form of energy in Europe and how deep we can expect the involvement of European states in supporting raising initiatives regarding nuclear energy while facing at the same time the direct threat from the Russian Federation. The hypothesis of this work is that, after the energy crisis, nuclear power in Europe received a second chance despite the expansion of nuclear power plants around the world, advances in technology, and increased safety standards. The conflict in Ukraine and the subsequent crisis demonstrated that the green agreement can be maintained only if nuclear energy is included in the Green Taxonomy of the European Union. For the sake of a good methodological analysis, it was preferred to rely on various official documents published from various institutions of the European Union, academic articles on energy in Europe and statistical information for a broad outlook and case study analysis. Article works under the framework of MixedMethods Research for better awareness regarding truly diverse areas of study such as Energy Policies as well as usage of official published statistics, tables, and other quantitative methods variations.
