An EDF-led consortium has been awarded UK government funding to investigate the feasibility of using nuclear-generated heat and electricity to create hydrogen for use in the production of asphalt and cement.

Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and private fusion developer General Fusion will pursue a series of joint projects to accelerate the deployment of commercial fusion power in Canada.
 

The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials has developed a virtual remote dismantling system for use in teaching the use of lasers and plasma to cut underwater reactor vessel internals during the decommissioning of nuclear power plants.

The commercial production of lutetium-177 has begun using a new isotope production system that was installed in unit 7 of the Bruce plant in Ontario, Canada, during a planned maintenance outage earlier this year.

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation says construction has been completed and processing equipment is now being installed in the Synroc facility which is due to begin operations in 2025.

Holtec International has completed the design and computer simulation phases for its HI-HEAT district heating system. HI-HEAT is the low-pressure steam supply version of the company's Green Boiler which it is developing to store surplus electricity generated by nuclear, solar or wind.

A tool provided by a new multi-disciplinary initiative led by Idaho National Laboratory aims to support communities and economies looking to transition to carbon-free energy in making informed energy choices that are right for their time, place and community.

Canadian Nuclear Laboratories has issued a call for proposals for the fourth round of its Canadian Nuclear Research Initiative, which is aimed at collaborative research initiatives on small modular reactors and advanced reactors.

Three organisations have won a total of GBP1.3 million (USD1.4 million) in funding to develop four cutting-edge telexistence innovations for defence, security and nuclear decommissioning applications.

Physicists at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory have proposed that the formation of "hills and valleys" in magnetic field lines could be the source of sudden collapses of heat ahead of disruptions that can damage doughnut-shaped tokamak fusion facilities. Their discovery could help overcome a critical challenge facing such facilities.

The External Events Notification System seeks to alert nuclear installations to natural hazards and disasters such as earthquakes, volcano eruptions and floods. It was unveiled at the International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency General Conference.
