South Africa's Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment has upheld a 2017 decision to grant Eskom environmental authorisation to construct and operate a new nuclear power station in Duynefontein, in the Western Cape.
 

A ceremony has been held at the Dukovany nuclear power plant in the Czech Republic to mark the start of a detailed site survey in preparation for the construction of two Korean-supplied APR1000s there.
 

China's National Nuclear Safety Administration has issued a construction licence for units 1 and 2 at the Jinqimen nuclear power plant in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, clearing the way for first concrete to be poured for the foundation of the reactor building of the first unit.
 

A ceremony has been held near the village of Ulken in the Almaty region of Kazakhstan to mark the start of engineering surveys, the first step in establishing a large-scale nuclear power plant there. The surveys will determine the optimal site and prepare design documentation for the future plant.
 

India's government has set out the key features of its Nuclear Energy Mission to achieve 100 GWe of nuclear capacity by 2047, featuring plans for new large capacity reactors as well as small modular reactors.
 

Denver International Airport is considering the deployment of a small modular reactor as part of goal of becoming "the greenest airport in the world and to be energy independent".
 

The turbogenerator for the BREST-OD-300 lead-cooled fast neutron reactor has been delivered to the construction site at the Siberian Chemical Combine site in Seversk, in the Tomsk Region of Russia.
 

Slovenské elektrárne and Synthos Green Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore the possible deployment of GE Vernova Hitachi's BWRX-300 small modular reactors - and Prime Minister Robert Fico has suggested a 1250 GW Westinghouse unit is planned for the Bohunice site.
