PARIS - As one of the world’s nuclear power pioneers, France has long recognized the potential of fast neutron reactors. The country already possesses enough nuclear fuel reserves to meet its energy needs for thousands of years—far beyond the supply of conventional uranium resources. However, despite decades of research and promising advancements, France had slowed its focus on fast reactor technology in
NORWAY - Nel, the global leader in hydrogen technology, has tied up with the world’s engineering and construction company, Samsung C&T Corporation, to aid in celebrating the bringing together of both entities for the country’s first nuclear hydrogen program. This acidic nuclear-hydrogen program for more than $5 million will be comprised of 10MW of alkaline
SASKATCHEWAN, Canada- A small nuclear reactor that can run for eight years or more without water is scheduled to go online by 2029 in Saskatchewan, Canada. In November, Saskatchewan’s government announced an $80 million CAD (about $59 million USD) project from the Saskatchewan Research Council to demonstrate the microreactor’s capability. The unit, called an eVinci, is being built
WASHINGTON DC - As many as 157 retired coal plants and 237 operating coal plant sites across the U.S. could be converted to nuclear power and help the country reach its net-zero emissions goals by 2050, the U.S. Department of Energy said in a report on Tuesday. The report showed that among the retired or active plant
BOSTON - Scientists have been working feverishly to decipher the process that would allow them to harness nuclear fusion, which is considered to be the “holy grail” of energy sources. One of the most difficult challenges in modern science has been to recreate fusion on Earth, which promises a future of clean, renewable energy. The
