Partners instead of opponents: Why nuclear energy and renewables are securing the future together The energy transition is often presented as an either/or proposition between renewables and nuclear energy - but is this really the right approach? Uwe Stoll, one of the leading experts in this field, showed in his presentation why the two technologies are not just Read more
"Copenhagen Atomics - The Future of Energy" on April 7, 2025 | 11:00 - 12:30 am Copenhagen Atomics presents a new reactor design with different physics than all other previous reactor designs, resulting in much lower energy prices and fewer materials used. The resulting energy prices are expected to be 1⁄4 Read more

Cancer drugs and climate protection instead of nuclear waste - facilities for electrochemical partitioning and accelerator-driven transmutation The development of facilities for electrochemical partitioning and accelerator-driven transmutation (P&T) is currently flourishing: the German government recently invested several million euros in Transmutex AG, a CERN spin-off dedicated to this topic. The American Read more
Nuclear power 2.0: The future of reactor technology The development of reactor technology began with the first reactor design lines developed in the 1950s, mainly for power generation and military applications. Early designs included pressurised water reactors (PWRs), boiling water reactors (BWRs) and gas-cooled reactors. In parallel, specific construction lines were developed to improve fuel utilisation, Read more
iMAGINE - Can we save ourselves the final repository? Germany is at a crossroads, on the one hand with regard to a possible future for nuclear energy, and on the other hand with regard to the final disposal of residual waste and the associated site selection process. The massive postponement of the standard setting, communicated some time ago, to 2046 at the earliest, opens up new opportunities to test technologies that could possibly be used in the future.
