US Nuclear Innovation Race: Companies Vie for Funding & Global Leadership by 2026

2026-01-08 22:18:00 【希望之声2026年1月8日】(本台记者陈雯韵综合编译) 十家公司正在争分夺秒地开发“先行者”核能创新技术,力争在 2026 年 7 月 4 日之前实现“临界”,从而获得联邦政府的资金,以根据川普总统授权的能源反应堆试点计划推进其技术发展。 爱达荷国家实验室主任约翰·瓦格纳表示,“我怀疑他们能否全部成功”,“但真正令人兴奋的是,我认为其中三人能够成功,其他人也会很快跟上。”他说,美国能源部 (DOE) 在 8 月份宣布的“伟大的反应堆竞赛”制定了“美国历史上最激进的核能部署时间表”,目标是在 2030 年前批准 10 座新反应堆的建设,并在 2050 年前将美国的核能产能提高四倍,这些目标在总统 5 月 23 日签署的四项行政命令中均有概述。 瓦格纳在 1 月 7 日举行的长达 4 小时的众议院能源和商业能源小组委员会听证会上表示,这些激励措施似乎正在发挥作用。“所以,虽然7月4日是一个重要的里程碑”,“但大多数反应堆都无法实现,接下来还有8月、9月和10月。” “我认为我们将在2026年看到相当多的反应堆实现初步示范运行,这将最终促成商业部署。” 美国公司正在开发 30 多种反应堆设计方案。其中包括便携式和小型模块化反应堆;以电加热加压水、熔盐和循环燃料为燃料的反应堆;以钠和液态金属冷却的反应堆;以及在地下 1 英里处进行水力压裂并通过管道将蒸汽输送到地面的反应堆。 这些创新举措是在历届政府和国会罕见地达成两党共识的基础上推动的,旨在放松对核能发展的管制和补贴,以满足预计到 2030 年电力需求增长 25%,到 2050 年增长 70% 的需求。 小组委员会主席、俄亥俄州共和党众议员鲍勃·拉塔 (Bob Latta) 表示,“美国核能成功发展的重要性不容低估”,“我们需要稳定可靠的电力,而且需要更多电力。我们需要电力来满足人工智能竞赛中新兴工业的生产需求,也需要电力来满足家庭和企业的用电需求。”他说,这将需要付出类似于德怀特·艾森豪威尔总统 1953 年提出的“和平利用原子能”计划的努力,该计划说服国会修改了《原子能法》,以消除核技术在民用领域的障碍。 但瓦格纳在证词中表示,“这一刻与以往的核能‘复兴’在根本上有所不同” ,“我们正站在美国核能前所未有的转折点上。几十年来,市场力量、国家安全需要和联邦政策首次实现了显著的协调一致”,“问题不再是美国是否需要核能,而是需要多少核能、需要多快以及如何实现。” 六个步骤 … Read more
