AB  - A technical gap exists between the ambitions of the energy transition and today's realities. Although renewable energy sources form the backbone of this transformation, they are insufficient on their own. Without additional, reliable and low-emission technologies, key climate targets will remain out of reach. Against this backdrop, the book focuses on novel nuclear technologies as a potential system-relevant addition to renewable electricity generation. Based on an international expert symposium hosted by TUM, it offers a fact-based, technology-neutral perspective on new nuclear technologies - from advanced fission reactors to fusion research, including applications for hydrogen and heat generation. Economic and societal framework conditions are also addressed. The book highlights blind spots in the energy policy debate, provides technical orientation and presents ten well-founded policy recommendations for a realistic, secure and future-ready electric supply.
