The Darlington New Nuclear Project will be a 300 MWe small modular reactor (SMR), which is to be built next to OPG's existing Darlington nuclear power plant in Clarington, Ontario.

In March 2021, scientists at DIII-D released a new concept for a compact fusion reactor design they said could help define the technology necessary for commercial fusion power.

There is a huge potential fusion industry and businesses were urged to get involved in the supply chain now.

Sweden's six nuclear power reactors provide about 40% of its electricity. In 1980, the government decided to phase out nuclear power, but parliament repealed this policy in 2010.

The new agreement builds on the teaming agreement signed in November 2021 under which Hyundai E&C will perform the detailed design of the balance of plant and prepare the full plant construction specification for the SMR-160, which Holtec has been developing since 2010.

Akkuyu is the first nuclear power plant under construction in Turkey and will eventually host four units of Russian-designed VVER-1200 reactors.

Germany could face power shortages this winter without the supplies of Russian gas on which its economy has relied.

“Working with Canadian entities, such as Laurentis Energy Partners, will allow us to learn from the first planned BWRX-300 deployments in the world, to accelerate project development in Poland.”

UK seeking to build on its established fusion research and resources and help make fusion energy a reality within the next few years.

Finnish utility Fortum has launched a two-year feasibility study to examine the prerequisites for nuclear new build in Finland and Sweden.
