- Introduction
- To sustain human habitat in the 21st century and beyond, topics on Energy, Environment, Water, and Sustainability, called EEWS, are the most essential issues. Higher fossil fuel prices, threats to energy security, and environmental problems including global warming have made the world face severe challenges. However, we are changing these challenges to opportunities by exploring new research areas and innovative technologies. As a member of the nuclear engineering department, we consider nuclear power to be the basis of such explorations. Nuclear energy is a proven technology that is cost-effective, safe, stable, and has no direct greenhouse gas emissions. Beyond that, the clean and intensive energy from nuclear energy could be used to produce hydrogen, distil saltwater on a massive scale, and advance the next generation of vehicles. Therefore, increasing the role of nuclear energy in meeting future energy demands is being considered all over the world.
