📄 Abstract（原文）
The global energy landscape is currently defined by a fundamental tension: the urgent necessity to decarbonize industrial civilization versus the mounting global demand for reliable, baseload power. Nuclear energy, long sidelined by perceptions of risk and waste management challenges, has re-emerged as a pivotal, if contentious, protagonist in the climate narrative. This paper examines the state of modern nuclear fission, evaluating its unique capacity to provide carbon-free electricity with an incredibly high energy density. By analyzing the transition from traditional large-scale reactors to the promising horizon of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and fourth-generation fuel cycles, this exploration assesses whether nuclear energy can transcend its historical baggage to serve as the structural backbone of a sustainable future. The findings indicate that while technical and economic hurdles remain, the strategic integration of nuclear power is not merely an option, but a mathematical necessity for achieving net-zero emissions.
