The outer steel dome has been installed at unit 3 of the Changjiang nuclear power plant in China's Hainan province, China National Nuclear Corporation has announced.

The first unit at the Rooppur nuclear power plant in Bangladesh has had its reactor assembly completed.

The third and top steel ring for Hinkley Point C unit 2's containment building has been lifted into place.

The CA20 module - measuring 20.6 metres in length, 14.2 metres in width and with a height of 21 metres - has been hoisted into place at the second unit of the Lianjiang nuclear power plant in China's Guangdong province.

Blue Energy says its modular, reactor-agnostic power plant architecture can be centrally manufactured in existing shipyards, slashing both costs and build time, and has completed a USD45 million Series A fundraise.

A ceremony has been held to mark the start of work on installing the core catcher for unit 3 of the El Dabaa nuclear power plant which is being built in Egypt.

The inner containment building for unit 2 of Egypt's El Dabaa nuclear power plant has begun to take shape, with work also under way on the reactor vessel for the fourth unit.

The first safety-related concrete has been poured for the nuclear island of unit 4 at the Zhangzhou nuclear power plant in Fujian province, China National Nuclear Corporation announced. The plant will eventually house six Hualong One reactors.

France's EDF energy group said its efforts to convert the Cordemais coal power plant to use wood pellets as fuel has not met the required "technical and economic conditions".

Tests that simulate the temperatures and pressures which the reactor systems will be subjected to during normal operation have been completed at unit 1 of the Taipingling nuclear power plant. The unit is the first of six Hualong One units planned at the site in China's Guangdong province.

The generator stator has been hoisted into place at the ACP100 small modular reactor demonstration project at the Changjiang site on China's island province of Hainan, China National Nuclear Corporation has announced.

Dutch heavy lifting and transport specialist Mammoet has launched the world's strongest land-based crane, the SK6000, which it says "unlocks new modular construction options for nuclear facilities, with increased cost-effectiveness and safety".
