NEW YORK, Jan. 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuclear power is back at the center of attention as an effective method for combating climate change. In addition to the support governments around the world have shown for the industry in recent years, private investors and market movers are now getting involved. Furthermore, celebrities and major movie directors are now working on destigmatizing nuclear energy. For example, director Oliver Stone has shown his support for nuclear power with a screening of his documentary movie 'Nuclear' at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos. According to the New York Times, the screening, "was packed — to the point of attendees sitting on the floor." Mr. Stone reasoned that the appetite for his film comes from a lack of alternative solutions, "Despite our investments in renewables, it's not improving our carbon emissions because we haven't tackled the core issue — eliminating fossil fuels," he told DealBook. "Climate change has forced us to take a new look at nuclear power." NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR), Brookfield Business Partners L.P. (NYSE: BBU), BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT), Rolls Royce Holdings plc (OTC: RYCEY), Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC).

Key Points: 
  • For example, director Oliver Stone has shown his support for nuclear power with a screening of his documentary movie 'Nuclear' at this year's World Economic Forum in Davos.
  • Meanwhile, France, a country that famously reliant on nuclear power for its energy needs, saw its nuclear industry underperform during the recent energy crisis, with long maintenance outages and an ageing fleet blamed for the deficit.
  • NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. announced back in November that it has appointed Dr. Ian Farnan as Lead for Nuclear Radiation and Materials.
  • Chair of Cambridge Nuclear Energy Centre and Professor of Earth & Nuclear Materials, Dr. Farnan is an expert in the effect of nuclear radiation on materials from nuclear fuels and claddings to waste forms.

LONDON, Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --

Key Points: 
  • Writing as a career too is one that many aspire to, but while it may be perceived to be well-paid, the latest in a series of authors' earnings surveys funded by the Authors' Licensing & Collecting Society (ALCS), shows a profession struggling to sustain itself.
  • The researchers observe that, "Such 'intrinsic motivation' may be linked to the devaluing of creative labour, and perhaps untenable market conditions."
  • The alternative, as the report suggests, leads to a diminished profession unable to sustain the vital contribution that writers make to society and our economy."
  • The Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) is a not-for-profit organisation started by writers for the benefit of all types of writers.
