EDF's proposal of an EPR-1200 reactor as the first nuclear power plant in Kazakhstan was one of "a number of key issues" discussed.

National Energy Plan of Türkiye has been announced and published last week by the Ministy of Energy and Natural Resources. The plan which is prepared based on 2053 Net Zero Emission target covers the period of 2020-2035.

Nuclear currently accounts for almost 75% of France's power production, but former president Francois Hollande's government announced in 2014 that this would be capped at the current level of 63.2 GWe and would be limited to 50% of total output by 2025.

The UAE has an installed capacity of 42 GW (end of 2021), with 35 GW of gas, 2.8 GW of nuclear and 2.7 GW of solar.

China’s power consumption will increase by around 6% in 2023 (after an estimated 3.6% increase in 2022) and that the country will instal around 250 GW of new capacity during the year.

According to the latest issue of FERC's monthly "Energy Infrastructure Update" (with data through November 30, 2022), "high probability" additions by solar to U.S. generating capacity between December 2022 and November 2025 will total 72,809 megawatts (MW).

The new "state-of-the-art mineral processing plant" will be designed and constructed to recover uranium, vanadium and cobalt from ore from Western's mines and that produced by other miners.

China’s National Energy administration (NEA) has announced that the country’s installed capacity increased by nearly 8% 2022.

In September, Westinghouse and Enusa announced their intention to collaborate on VVER-440 fuel fabrication with the aim of delivering a Western alternative to Russian fuel in the European market VVER-440s currently use fuel from Rosatom’s TVEL.

Российские компании предлагают свои услуги в области модернизации электроэнергетической системы Туркменистана с привлечением отечественных подрядчиков по поставке оборудования.

“The Russian nuclear industry stands out as a rare – indeed unique – case of a high-technology sector that has not only recovered from the end of the Soviet era and the chaos that followed, but has developed an effective export strategy that has allowed it to prosper today as never before.”

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) also decided to invest $30bn in South Korea's industries, South Korea's presidential office said.

The aim of the energy strategy is for Bulgaria "to remain a leader in the production and export of electricity in the region".

The researchers say that, regardless of the purpose and scenario of the mission, a reliable source of energy is needed for successful exploration of the Moon.

As the world pushes towards net-zero emissions targets, and away from the war-influenced roller coaster of fossil fuel prices, many countries – including Canada – are putting the nuclear option back on the table.
