The Context
⭕ This is the design I created for The Red Team Analysis Society article [🇬🇧 🇫🇷] titled:
“Towards a U.S. Nuclear Renaissance?”
This design is the Sixthin the Uranium Series, following “Niger: a New Severe Threat for the Future of France’s Nuclear Energy?”.
On 30 September 2024, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published the latest edition of the Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Advanced Nuclear.
Its aim is to contribute to accelerate advanced nuclear reactors’ commercial deployment in support of U.S. objectives in terms of nuclear energy, necessary notably to achieve its decarbonization goals.
The U.S. DOE document sets the civilian nuclear objectives the U.S. state would like to achieve, and presents arguments to convince American companies, including bankers and other financial institutions, that they should invest in nuclear energy. What is the American nuclear renaissance all about?
Why is it important knowing, in 2024, the U.S. is still the first civil nuclear power in the world? How does it fit in with the global return to nuclear power? What does it mean for the American National Interest? How does it compare with China’s surge in nuclear energy? Are the U.S. nuclear power objectives feasible?
Will a new Nuclear Divinity arise from the waters of uncertainty ?
The Design
Like Venus, the ancient goddess painted in Botticelli’s masterpiece, Nuclear Power emerges from the waters, the navel of self-centered Love shimmering through in its core… Will nuclear power be loved and cherished by the United States? Will they allow it to be born?
On the left, Zephyr, the gentle wind of Spring, dressed in the star-spangled mantle, blows the breeze of possible renewal on the young nuclear power that is shaking itself out of the waters… Is it the breath of rebirth or the one that announces the storm of inconsequence?
On the right, one of the Hours seeks to cover the fragile nuclear power with the red and white stripes of the thirteen founding states, symbolizing the monopolization of this newborn power into the foundations of the American State.
But which Hour is it? Is it Auxo, Hour of Growth? Thallo, Hour of Flowering? Or Carpo, the Hour of Fructification? Is there still time for the Nuclear Hour to arise?
The texture of the nuclear symbol is that of gold painted on the raw canvas, still iridescent from its crackling radioactivity… When this new divinity will open its eyes, what spectacle will it contemplate? What words will it pronounce? And will it be lively enough to survive its own (re)birth?
Or will its Renaissance remain only a sketch on the easel of States, too dreamy to see the Twilight of the ungrateful Gods and the carefree Men that is inevitably advancing?…
Summary of the Topic
🔺 Description of the drivers behind the American nuclear energy renaissance and objectives, mainly those related to international relations, American national security and constraints required for energy decarbonisation.
🔺 Why and how out-competing China and constraining Russia over the international chessboard is incorporated into that Renaissance.
🔺 Presenting the two scenarios of the U.S. Department of Energy… and possibly a third?
🔺 Uncertainty and Challenges linked to the stakes of that Renaissance.
