Sapphire 2025 is a collaborative initiative among government, industry, and academia to develop and demonstrate advanced nuclear energy technologies by 2025. The goal of Sapphire 2025 is to reduce the cost of nuclear energy and make it more competitive with other energy sources.
Sapphire 2025 is important because it has the potential to make nuclear energy a more affordable and reliable source of electricity. Nuclear energy is a clean and efficient source of energy, and it does not produce greenhouse gases. However, nuclear energy has traditionally been more expensive than other energy sources. Sapphire 2025 aims to change that by developing new technologies that will reduce the cost of nuclear energy.
