South Korea currently has 24 reactors, providing about one-third of South Korea’s electricity and nuclear energy had long been a strategic priority for the country until the phase-out policy was introduced.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken signed for the USA and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ararat Mirzoyan signed for Armenia, during Mirzoyan’s visit to Washington.

Likhachev and Grossi “paid particular attention to the state of affairs at the Zaporozhye NPP, including taking into account the IAEA Director General’s intention to organise a technical mission of the IAEA specialists to this NPP”. Likhachev “stressed ensuring safe operation of nuclear installations in the broadest sense possible was an absolute priority for the Russian side and for the Russian nuclear industry”.

To speed up greening of the emerging hydrogen economy, the IAEA last month launched an initiative to develop a roadmap for the commercial deployment of hydrogen production using nuclear energy.

Fennovoima's decision to end the contract is "justified and consistent", Finland's Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment said.

Speaking about the suitability of Thorium MSRs as an energy source for maritime applications, Jan Emblemsvåg, Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology noted: “MSRs have enormous potential for enabling clean shipping.

The plant, using Westinghouse AP1000 reactors, would be Poland’s first NPP.

“Ratification of the agreement will widen and deepen cooperation in customs control to prevent illicit trafficking of nuclear and radioactive materials, radioactive waste, and radiation hazardous items, extend cooperation in introducing modern technologies, and make possible joint exercises and training workshops.”

A hydrogen production facility will be connected to the HTTR owned by JAEA to develop hydrogen production technology utilising the reactor’s high temperature heat.

According to the IAEA, Russia currently has four reactors under construction, including the first-of-its-kind VVER-TOI design at Kursk.

The IAEA will continue to support Ukraine in ensuring the safety and security of its nuclear sites, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi told Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky this evening during a meeting in Kyiv.

The increase in U.S. electric power sector renewable generation during 2021 came mainly from more wind and solar generation as a result of more wind turbines and utility-scale solar power plants coming online.

Poland's energy policy until 2040 considers the development of a nuclear power plant (1-1.6 GW) that could start commercial operations in 2033.

Poland's national plans for nuclear focus on the construction of large reactors, with the first to be on the country's Baltic coast.
