Achieving Net‐Zero in the Electricity Sector in China by 2050 Considering Environmental and Economic Objectives

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
China's pathways to net‐zero electricity by 2050 are evaluated using life cycle environmental and economic assessment across six scenarios. Results show that a renewables‐only grid offers the best overall environmental performance and lowest cost, but increases burdens on metal depletion, land use, and ecotoxicity.

Characterization of Fuel Rods Supported by Dimple‐Less Spacer Grids and Subjected to Nonlinear Vibrations

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 3-21, March 2026.
ABSTRACT An experimental campaign was undertaken to demonstrate the applicability of the Bouc–Wen hysteretic model to describe the hysteretic system of the recent Framatome dimple‐less spacer grid design for Pressurized Water Reactors. The experimental setup subjected a reduced‐length fuel rod, supported at both ends by dimple‐less grids, to forced ...

Multi‐Objective Energy Management for an Integrated Energy System With Small Modular Reactors Considering Uncertainty

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
An integrated energy system (IES) can alleviate energy crises, promote multi‐energy complementarity, and enhance finer‐grained energy development. Nuclear power is clean and efficient, mainly when using small modular reactors (SMRs), which increase power generation, improve system flexibility, and promote a low‐carbon economy.
