In-service steam generators affected by non-compliance in a stress-relieving heat-treatment process are safe to continue in use, French utility EDF said today. Investigations into the deviation at Framatome's Saint-Marcel site are ongoing.

Nuclear and renewable generation should be used in combination to make the most of their synergies in integrated systems to help the world meet carbon reduction goals and limit temperature rise, leaders from governmental and non-governmental organisations and industry said yesterday. Innovative nucl

A full set of dummy fuel assemblies has been loaded into unit 2 of the Leningrad II nuclear power plant under construction in western Russia. The equipment, which replicates the design of standard fuel assemblies by the weight, size and materials of which they are made, but without nuclear fuel, is

Unit 2 of the Taishan nuclear power plant in China's Guangdong province has entered commercial operation, becoming the second EPR reactor to do so. The milestone was achieved on 7 September, following statutory functional testing of continuous operation at full power for 168 hours, which started on

Russia’s nuclear fuel company Tvel and the Centre for Energy Research of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences have signed a contract for the supply of Russian nuclear fuel for the Budapest research reactor.

Tvel did not say how much the long-term contract was worth, but said it is for fuel supplies s

China’s top nuclear safety official has condemned the US blacklisting of Chinese nuclear companies, but warned that ultimately the move could harm US companies.

The Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported that Liu Hua, head of the National Nuclear Safety Administration, said US multilater

The US Department of Energy has announced it will provide $30m to US universities, private industry and national laboratories for a range of research projects in fusion energy.

In a statement the DOE said the funding will go to 10 US multi-institutional research teams to support fusion energy resea

Nieuwe economieën, China voorop, omarmen kernenergie, terwijl het Westen krampachtig zijn hoop vestigt op zonnepanelen en windmolens. Energiedeskundige André Wakker ziet het bezorgd aan en pleit voor een radicale koerswijziging: bouw tien kerncentrales en de energietransitie is grotendeels gefikst.

Small modular reactors (SMRs) have been the talk of scientists and researchers in the nuclear industry for many years — but to what extent will their debut, expected next year, create challenges in spent fuel management? It depends, say experts, on the particular SMR design and a country’s existing

Malnutrition is a major global health problem, and poor diet has been linked to a range of chronic diseases.

Finland-based Kalmar has completed a comprehensive refurbishment of the reactor crane in the high-flux reactor research reactor at NRG’s Petten research facility in the Netherlands.

The company, part of Finnish company Cargotec, said commissioning took place in the second quarter of 2019.
