The go-ahead has been given for Ontario Power Generation to begin construction of the first of four small modular reactors at the Darlington New Nuclear Project site - the total projected cost is CAD20.9 billion (USD15.1 billion), but what does that figure include?

The expected growth in the nuclear workforce globally signals new opportunities rather than shortages, writes James Chamberlain of workforce solutions provider Rullion. Improving candidate experience and embracing cross-sector skills are key to success. The industry must act now to reframe its employer brand and meet future demand.

In the second of a two-part special report from the World Nuclear Fuel Cycle 2025 conference held in Canada, Claire Maden reports on the opportunities and challenges facing players across the entire fuel sector.

The deployment of advanced nuclear technologies, such as small modular reactors and advanced modular reactors, presents a promising yet complex horizon as these technologies look to support the transformation of the energy sector, write PA Consulting's Derreck Van Gelderen and Matt Leedham.

In the first of a two-part special report from the World Nuclear Fuel Cycle 2025 conference held this month in Canada, Claire Maden reports on the opportunities and challenges facing players across the entire fuel sector.

James Scongack is chief operating officer of Canada's Bruce Power, and chairman of the Canadian Nuclear Isotopes Council. Here is an edited transcript of his World Nuclear News podcast interview about the importance of nuclear medicine and how it complements the industry's core energy business.

The nuclear fuel cycle is the series of industrial processes that turns uranium into electricity. Claire Maden takes a look at the steps that make up the cycle, the major players and the potential pinch-points.

Bruce Power's Chief Operating Officer James Scongack is also Chairman of the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council and, as he explains, the country is aiming to grow its leadership role in nuclear medicine.

As José Gago succeeds Tom Mitchell after a six-year term as chairman, the two talk to World Nuclear News about the role of the World Association of Nuclear Operators, its achievements and its future role with numbers of nuclear energy plants set to rise sharply in the years ahead.
