The nuclear power plant - the largest in Europe - is still being operated by its Ukrainian staff, but has been under the control of Russian military forces since the start of March.

Nuclear provides the opportunity for a faster transition to a low-carbon energy future and supports the shift to a hydrogen economy

Bangladesh's first nuclear power plant - comprising two VVER-1200 reactors - is currently under construction by Russia's AtomStroyExport at Rooppur, about 160 km northwest of Dhaka.

Experimental accident tolerant fuel (ATF) elements are being tested in the MIR research reactor at the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (NIIAR) in Dimitrovgrad, Russian fuel company TVEL (part of Rosatom) said

Romania’s energy minister Virgil Popescu said: "I thank our American partners for supporting Romania's nuclear programmes, a bilateral strategic partnership started in the 1980s.

REPowerEU is about rapidly reducing our dependence on Russian fossil fuels by fast forwarding the clean transition and joining forces to achieve a more resilient energy system and a true Energy Union.

In June 2018, Russia and China signed four agreements, including for the construction of two VVER-1200 reactors as units 7 and 8 of the Tianwan plant in Jiangsu province.

Currently, the Paks NPP, built according to the Soviet design, operates four power units with VVER-440 reactors. The Hungarian Parliament in 2009 approved the construction of two new units.

SK said the cooperation between TerraPower and group member companies SK Corporation and SK Innovation will "contribute to fostering the next-generation nuclear power plant industry in Korea through cooperation in securing and commercialising core SMR technology ...

The companies are advancing two different approaches to accelerate ground and flight testing for nuclear-powered prototypes: compact fusion and next-gen radioisotope concepts.
