Global population and demand for energy have increased in the past fifteen years, and these trends will continue. One consequence of increased energy production has been the buildup of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere and heightened concern over global warming. Nations are actively seeking energy sources which minimize the release of greenhouse gasses. Nuclear power is one energy source which can safely meet this requirement. The United States is proposing the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP), an advanced nuclear strategy with reduced waste and greater protection against using materials in a weapons activity. GNEP activities are consistent with capabilities existing at the Savannah River Site, and two locations in South Carolina are being considered as the location to test these new fuel and reactor concepts.
在过去十五年中，全球人口和能源需求都有所增长，并且这些趋势将持续下去。能源产量增加的一个后果是大气中温室气体的积累以及对全球变暖的高度关注。各国都在积极寻求能将温室气体排放降至最低的能源。核能就是一种能够安全满足这一要求的能源。美国正在提议实施全球核能伙伴计划（GNEP），这是一项先进的核战略，旨在减少废物并更好地防止核材料用于武器活动。GNEP的活动与萨凡纳河工厂现有的能力相符，南卡罗来纳州的两个地点正在被考虑作为测试这些新燃料和反应堆概念的场所。
