Framatome's PROtect Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuel chromium-coated M5Framatome cladding has become the world's first ATF technology to operate with full length fuel rods at a burnup rate above 60 GWd/tU.
The commercial installation of Atomic Canyon's Neutron Enterprise solution is said to be the first on-site deployment of a generative AI (artificial intelligence) solution at a US nuclear power plant, bringing a new approach to managing vast datasets associated with PG&E's plant operations.
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.
Microreactor technology company NANO Nuclear Energy Inc is joining privately owned laser enrichment company LIS Technologies Inc in a collaboration it says will reinvigorate the USA's domestic uranium enrichment and fuel fabrication capabilities and provide NANO Nuclear with uranium hexafluoride to fuel its reactors.
A pump impeller for the Siberian Chemical Combine, part of Rosatom's TVEL fuel division, was printed on a 3D printer, the company has said.
A new algorithm has reduced the time needed to inspect 3D-printed parts for nuclear applications by 85% and could lead the way to faster, safer inspections of irradiated materials and nuclear fuel, speeding up the development and deployment of new nuclear technology.
AtkinsRéalis company Candu Energy Inc has announced it is entering into a special project with Canadian nuclear regulators to plan for a Pre-Licensing Design Review of the new Candu Monark reactor's suitability to be licensed and built in Canada.
The 24 months since commercial production of the medical isotope began at the Candu unit have seen Bruce Power and its partners expand production capabilities to match growing global demand.
Nuclear Transport Solutions' Pacific Grebe - a purpose-built diesel-powered ship designed to safely carry nuclear cargos around the world - has been fitted with revolutionary new sail technology. The ship has left its home port of Barrow-in-Furness and will be running sea trials this month.
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.
