The turbine generator stator for the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant under construction in Somerset, England, has been delivered from the manufacturing plant in Belfort, France.

Electric cables in decommissioned nuclear power plants which were previously incinerated can now have their copper recovered using a new technique successfully trialled by Veolia.

A new jobs map published by EDF Energy shows the nuclear industry now supports 3500 jobs in the city of Bristol in southwest England. Many of these jobs have been supported by the Hinkley Point C project, with further new build projects expected to provide more.

Great British Nuclear says that all four remaining technology providers are "viable options for development" as it prepares to make its choice for the UK's official small modular reactor programme.

Station Director of Heysham 2 Martin Cheetham on the uniqueness of the UK's fleet of advanced gas-cooled reactors, the prospect of a life extension and a possible future with small modular reactors.

Seeing nuclear as a flexible energy source - producing electricity, hydrogen and heat with large-scale energy storage - rather than merely as a source of baseload power means it can complement the variability of renewables without the need for back-up natural gas power plants, a new report from the Dalton Nuclear Institute says.

Nuclear will play an important role in the UK achieving a clean power system by 2030 and beyond with life extensions for the current fleet and a new generation of nuclear plants, according to independent energy system planner and operator, the National Energy System Operator (NESO).

Leadership of the UK's STEP (Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production) programme has transitioned to UK Industrial Fusion Solutions Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the UK Atomic Energy Authority.

Key decisions on which small modular reactor technologies to select and on a Final Investment Decision on Sizewell C will be taken in spring 2025, according to timelines set out in the government's Budget documents.
