The possibility of replacing coal power plants with nuclear capacity is being actively explored in the USA and elsewhere.

Poland plans to have nuclear power from about 2033 as part of a diverse energy portfolio, moving it away from heavy dependence on coal.

The agreement provides for the development of a Comprehensive Plan for the creation of a mineral resource centre in Yakutia using electricity supplied by a low-power nuclear power plant based on two RITM-200N reactors. It outlined possible conditions for the implementation of the project on the principles of public-private partnership.

Rosatom and Myanmar’s Ministry of Science and Technology and Ministry of Electrification have signed a Roadmap on cooperation in the field of the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes for 2022-2023 on the sidelines of the VII Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.

The NEUP funding will allow detailed collaborative research into the economic and environmental benefits of floating advanced nuclear power generation and take a granular look at all aspects of building, operating, maintaining, and decommissioning such facilities.

First, nuclear is “dispatchable.” That is the term for the power you can rely on; power that will be there when you need it, and you can dispatch it.

The GBP3.3 million funding through the Advanced Modular Reactor Research, Development and Demonstration (AMR RD&D) programme - part of the GBP385 million Advanced Nuclear Fund - will support the development of innovative nuclear technology in the UK, such as high temperature gas reactors (HTGRs).

The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has now incorporated the inclusion of nuclear technology into the country’s power generation mix.

The length of the barge under construction in China will be 140 metres and the width 30 metres. The weight of the hull without equipment will be 9,549 tons and with equipment 19,088 tons. It is planned that the hull will be delivered to Russia by the end of 2023 for the completion and installation of the reactors and other equipment.

This is part of the GBP1.7 billion of new direct government funding to develop a large-scale nuclear project announced in October.
