Advanced Nuclear Energy Pathways for a Net‐Zero World: Fuel Cycles, Reactors, and Policy Readiness
e/kWh. Empirical case studies from India, China, and the United States substantiate this field's technical readiness and regulatory progress. Advanced fuel compositions and reactor systems offer a plausible trajectory toward sustainable nuclear energy. The achievement of this potential is contingent upon the evolution of contemporary regulatory frameworks, active public engagement, and adequate financial mechanisms. Integrating technology, policy, and public trust is essential to making nuclear energy a key pillar of global decarbonization.
