Russian nuclear regulator Rostekhnadzor has issued a location licence for the proposed third unit at the Kursk II nuclear power plant, allowing preparatory work to begin for construction. 

An intergovernmental agreement signed during a state visit to Russia covers cooperation on the development of a 110 MW small modular reactor project in Myanmar.

International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi says that the decision for the rotation of agency experts at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to take place via Russia, rather than via Ukraine as usual, was because "I could not take risks with the lives of my experts, and any other political consideration was out of place".

Firefighters worked across the weekend to tackle smouldering roof insulation in the giant protective shelter which covers Chernobyl's unit 4 following the drone strike on Friday. Radiation levels in the area remain normal - the original protective shelter inside the giant structure did not suffer any damage.

Welding has been completed of the upper half of the VVER-1200 reactor vessel for El Dabaa nuclear power plant's second unit, with Rosatom saying that new materials and welding technologies can help increase the service life of reactors to 100 years.

The International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency's delayed rotation of experts at Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was cancelled on Wednesday, after military activity caused the staff swap to be aborted.

International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has held talks with Rosatom's Director General in Moscow, focusing on safety and security issues for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. 

A laboratory prototype of a plasma electric rocket engine based on a magnetic plasma accelerator has been produced by Rosatom scientists, who say it could slash travel time to Mars to one or two months.

Russia's nuclear regulator Rostakhnadzor has issued a licence for Leningrad nuclear power plant's third unit to operate for a further five years, to 2030.

The operator of Russia's Novovoronezh nuclear power plant has shown a commitment to enhancing operational safety, an International Atomic ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Agency mission team has concluded.

The first unit at Rostov nuclear power plant was launched in 2001 and its operating licence is due to expire in 2030. A large-scale work programme has been approved as part of plans for a 30-year life extension.

The third cycle of tests of MOX fuel in the MIR research reactor is to begin following the successful completion of the second phase of the programme which aims to substantiate the safety of MOX fuel for use in VVER-type reactors.
