Operator ÄŒEZ says that the transition from a 12-month to an 18-month fuel cycle has begun at Temelín's second unit, part of the company's investment programme to boost efficiency and pave the way for the planned 60-year operation of the plant.

The loading of fuel has been completed at unit 2 of the Shin Hanul nuclear power plant, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power announced. The unit - the second of two APR1400 reactors at the site - is expected to enter commercial operation in about six months' time following the completion of test runs.

An International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency team of experts has completed a follow-up review of long-term operational safety at the Ascó nuclear power plant in Spain. The team reviewed the plant's response to recommendations and suggestions made during a Safety Aspects of Long-Term Operation mission in 2021.

Unit 2 of the Takahama nuclear power plant in Japan's Fukui Prefecture has been restarted after being taken offline more than 12 years ago, Kansai Electric Power Company announced. The 780 MWe (net) pressurised water reactor becomes the 12th Japanese reactor to resume operation.

Unit 6 at the site in Ontario was declared commercially operational on 14 September - 39 years to the day after it was first declared in service on 14 September 1984.

The unit has been reconnected to Ontario's grid following a successful Major Component Replacement that was completed ahead of schedule and on budget.

Iran's nuclear professionals are now able to train using a fully Iranian-designed and built reactor simulator.

International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi says that the arrival of its experts at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant a year ago was "crucial" and their presence continues to be of "paramount importance".

Argentina's Atucha II nuclear unit is delivering power again after the successful completion of repairs prompted by the October 2022 inspection discovery that one of the four internal supports of the reactor had detached and moved from its design location.

The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has started pumping water from a new groundwater well and plans to build more at the site as part of efforts to ensure sufficient cooling for its six reactors after the destruction of Ukraine's Kakhovka dam in early June.

South African utility Eskom has announced that unit 1 at its Koeberg nuclear power plant, which has been undergoing a long-term outage for maintenance and steam generator replacement, is now expected to return to service on 3 November. The start of similar work at Koeberg 2 has been postponed to 7 November to ensure that both units are not off line at the same time.

UPDATED: Duke ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Carolinas and Duke ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Progress have recommended extending the lives of their existing nuclear power plants as well as building two new small modular reactors by 2035 in an energy portfolio that offers the most prudent way forward for North and South Carolina. A retiring coal plant in North Carolina is earmarked for the first SMR.
