The Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge has extended the operating licence for the 1,064 MW Cofrentes nuclear power plant in the province of Valencia until 30 November 2030.

There needs to be a broader context of political support that investors are going to believe is durable. There needs to be a clear declaration, and made with political consensus, that nuclear is essential to the country's net-zero goal and climate ambition.

Advances in nuclear technology have made possible a largely autonomous, fully inherently safe reactor which can be safely moved.

A tritium breeding blanket is a core component for future fusion reactors to realise tritium breeding self-sufficiency and electricity generation

According to the study, a 300 MWe grid-scale SMR built in Ontario and operated for 60 years would create direct and related employment including nearly 700 jobs during project development, over 1600 jobs during manufacturing and construction, over 200 jobs during operations, and about 160 jobs during decommissioning.

Westinghouse's work on the offer is financed by the US Trade and Development Agency. The works are to cost $10 million.

Nuclear power and renewables can, if planned properly, be exemplary partners as we strive towards building a clean energy world following the pandemic, while ensuring that we do so without leaving a large percentage of world's population behind.

"The US fusion community has been a pioneer of fusion research since its inception and now has the opportunity to bring fusion to the marketplace,"

Nuclear energy is an "indispensable tool" for achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). It has a crucial role in providing affordable energy and climate change mitigation, as well as eliminating poverty, achieving zero hunger, providing clean water, economic growth, and industry innovation.

Canada will need to triple its power production levels over the next 30 years to enable the electrification of economic sectors, and this will require the simultaneous development of all available zero-carbon generation technologies simultaneously including large and small nuclear reactors as well as renewables and hydro

Clean, affordable energy is going to be vital to meet the SDGs, nuclear energy provides additional benefits to human health and wellbeing.

Rosatom’s Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (NIIAR) and the AA Bochvar Research Institute of Inorganic Materials (VNIINM), part of TVEL fuel company, have completed new stages in the development of Russian accident tolerant fuel (ATF) for VVER and pressurised water reactors.

Four Russian-designed VVER-1200 pressurised water reactors are planned for El Dabaa, which is on the Mediterranean coast, 170km west of Alexandria and Zafraana on the Gulf of Suez.

At the end of 2020, nuclear power's share of Russia's energy mix stood at 20.28%.

All but four of the nation’s 94 operating nuclear power plants are performing at the highest safety and security levels, according to a new release from the U.S. industry regulator.
