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.

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.

According to preliminary data, Gazprom produced 394.1 billion cubic meters of gas from January 1 through December 15, 2022. This is a decrease of 19.6 per cent (or 96.3 billion cubic meters) versus the same period of last year.

NNL said it has been working on this endeavor since 2009, when its researchers first discovered that americium-241, an alternative to Pu-238, is produced during the radioactive decay of used fuel from nuclear reactors and that it emits power for more than 400 years.

CNNC announced in July 2019 the launch of a project to construct an ACP100 reactor - also referred to as the Linglong One - at Changjiang.

According to preliminary data, Gazprom produced 376.9 billion cubic meters of gas from January through November 2022. This is a decrease of 19.4 per cent (or 90.8 billion cubic meters) versus the same period of last year.

Qatar, one of the world's largest LNG exporters, has been courted by European countries, including Germany and the UK, in recent months as they seek improved gas supply security amid stubbornly high prices.

The plan is for Sizewell C to feature two EPRs producing 3.2 GW of electricity, enough to power the equivalent of around six million homes.

The ARC-100 has also been selected for a demonstration project at NB Power's existing Point Lepreau nuclear power plant site as part of a joint strategic plan for SMR deployment set out earlier this year by the provincial governments of Ontario, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Alberta Canada’s SMR Roadmap.

The new agreement lays the foundations of an "exclusive strategic alliance for the development of new uranium mines in Uzbekistan, beyond the Djengeldi project" and is a "significant broadening of the scope of the collaboration", Orano said.

This agreement is the second LNG SPA between QatarEnergy and Sinopec, following the 10-year SPA signed in March 2021 for the supply of 2 Mt/year (2.8 bcm/year) to China.

Electricity generation in Kyrgyzstan is mainly from hydro (over 90%). The country has no nuclear power, but in January 2022 signed a memorandum of cooperation with Rosatom on the construction of small nuclear power plants based on the RITM-200N.

South Africa's electricity generation is dominated by coal - Koeberg supplies about 5%.

According to preliminary data, Gazprom produced 359.7 billion cubic meters of gas from January 1 through November 15, 2022. This is a decrease of 19.2 per cent (or 85.3 billion cubic meters) versus the same period of last year.

Despite the ongoing uncertainty of long-term forecasts for the energy market development, it is clear that natural gas will continue gaining increased importance in the global energy mix. Its consumption is expected to increase by about 20 per cent by 2040 versus 2021.
