In July, the government laid out a new energy policy which aims to maintain nuclear's share of the country's energy mix at a minimum of 30% by 2030.

However, in March last year the Belgian government decided to start talks with Electrabel - the Belgian subsidiary of Engie - with a view to extending the operation of Doel 4 and Tihange 3, allowing for the retention of 2 GWe of nuclear generation capacity.

DOE noted the significance of the Government of Japan’s announcement of its “Draft Future Nuclear Energy Direction and Action Guidelines” in December 2022.

Seaborg's design is for modular CMSR power barges that can produce between 200 MW and 800 MW of electricity, with an operational life of 24 years.

Under the new policy - which describes nuclear power as "a power source that contributes to energy security and has a high decarbonisation effect" - Japan will maximise the use of existing reactors by restarting as many of them as possible and prolonging the operating life of aging ones beyond the current 60-year limit.

The modernised floating power units are intended to deliver a power supply for the Baimskaya Mining and Processing Plant in Chukotka.

Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) plans to deploy an MMR as a research and test reactor at or near its campus in the city of Lappeenranta in southern Finland.

The present installed nuclear power capacity comprises of 22 reactors with a total capacity of 6780MWe. In addition, one reactor, KAPP-3 (700MWe) has recently been connected to the grid.

This is Rosatom’s first long-term contract with Brazil for the supply of enriched uranium products in the history opening access to the largest market for uranium products in the Latin American region.

NIF scientists readily acknowledge that the facility was not designed with commercial fusion energy in mind—and many researchers doubt that laser-driven fusion will be the approach that ultimately yields fusion energy.
