The Imperial College Reactor Centre in Ascot, England, has become the first reactor site to be fully decommissioned in the UK under modern regulatory controls, the country's Office for Nuclear Regulation has announced.

The RA-10 multipurpose research reactor is now about 80% completed, with its reflector tank set to be installed as construction enters its final phases, Argentina's Foreign Minister Diana Mondino was told during a tour of the facility.

Samples of the fuel began tests in two research reactors in 2022, with Rosatom reporting they "fundamentally confirmed the functionality of the fuel design" for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors.

Concrete pouring for a 10 MW research reactor has begun at Isfahan, the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran has announced. The organisation has also declared operational a new emergency control room simulator for unit 1 at the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

The Framatome-General Atomics joint venture has begun fabricating the fuel for the US Department of Energy's  MARVEL microreactor, with delivery of the first shipment of fuel expected in spring 2025.

The Mining and Chemical Combine, part of Rosatom, says that research and development work on the molten salt research reactor project has been completed, with a preliminary design developed.

The small-angle neutron scattering instrument is 33 metres long when assembled and has been donated by the German Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin institute following the closure of the BER-II reactor in 2019. It will be reassembled and come into operation when Argentina's RA-10 multipurpose research reactor begins operating.

Kenya is pursuing the development of the country's first research reactor, a stepping stone towards a future nuclear power programme, and invited an International Atomic Energy Agency mission to review the development of its national nuclear infrastructure.

A virtual replica of Idaho State University's AGN-201 research reactor, developed in collaboration with Idaho National Laboratory, is claimed to be the world's first nuclear reactor digital twin.

Following a tender procedure, Spanish construction firm FCC Construcción has been contracted to build the Pallas research reactor at the Energy & Health Campus in Petten, the Netherlands.

TRIGA International - a joint venture between Framatome and General Atomics - has been awarded a contract to fabricate TRIGA-like fuel for the US Department of Energy's Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation microreactor.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has been selected to design, produce and install a new research reactor at the Monju site in a project led by Japan's national nuclear research and development agency.
