The safe and sustainable application of nuclear science in any industry relies on the availability of qualified managers and personnel—this is equally true in Africa’s burgeoning nuclear sector.

The UK government is in discussions regarding proposals for a new nuclear power plant at Wylfa on Anglesey,

As set out in Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, released in November 2020, the government wants the UK to be the first country in the world to commercialise fusion energy technology.

Therefore, "Nuclear energy has been identified as the primary means of ensuring energy security in the Czech Republic in the context of achieving the goal of a climate-neutral EU by 2050 due to its ability to ensure low-carbon, stable and cheap electricity supplies."

It therefore represents a hugely important national capability, enabling industry in the UK and internationally to design, and eventually qualify, components for future commercial fusion power plants.

OKBM said the RITM-200M unit is part of a wide range of low-power NPPs being developed by Rosatom.

The study found that to facilitate rapid decarbonisation and cut dependency on fossil fuels, both nuclear and renewables are needed for power and hydrogen production.

Canada’s Cameco, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH), GEH SMR Technologies Canada, (GEH SMR Canada) and Synthos Green Energy (SGE), a member of the Synthos Group signed a non-exclusive and non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to evaluate the potential establishment of a uranium fuel supply chain in Canada capable of servicing a potential fleet of BWRX-300 SMRs in Poland.

Poland uses coal as fuel for over 70% of its electricity, as well as half of its heat supply to district heating networks and industry, but is still to announce a definitive policy to fully transition away from this fossil fuel.

The Group of Vienna will support the IAEA in its mission to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of nuclear technologies to meet environmental, social, and economic goals and to improve the health and well-being of people.
