The head of French energy utility EDF used his presentation of the latest financial results last Friday (July 26) to update the company's nuclear ambitions: a target of 70 months to build a reactor - or half the current construction time.
according to the IAEAThat is more than any other country by far. Many of those reactors should be viable for some time to come, as nuclear reactors can be licensed to operate for 60 years and in some cases for as long as 80 years, theWorld Nuclear Association...
Up to eight more new nuclear reactors could be built on existing sites over the next eight years in order to improve the UK’s energy security, Boris Johnson has announced. The UK government’s newenergystrategy aims to make the country more independent in terms of energy production, while...
As of early 2018 there were 75 separate advanced fission projects trying to answer that question in North America alone, according to the think tank Third Way. These projects employ the same type of reaction used in the conventional nuclear reactors that have been used for decades...
Another concern that is sometimes raised about building nuclear plants in New Zealand is the potential for damage by earthquakes. Seismic-design considerations are well established, and there are more than 50 reactors operating in Japan, where experience of earthquakes is at least as great as in ...
These include hydrogen or heat production, or waste reduction when they function in a waste burner to close the nuclear fuel waste cycle. Micro and small-scale reactors Next-generation reactors are being developed and built in many countries, including the USA, UK, Canada, and China. However,...
Germany’s government has said that seven of its 17 nuclear reactors (反应堆) will stop working for three months for safety checks.Nuclear power has been very unpopular in Germ any since the Chernobyl (切尔诺贝利) nuclear reactor disaster in Ukraine (乌克兰) in 1986. Since then, the country...
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) licenses nuclear reactors; the applicant provides environmental assessments that serve as the basis for Environmental Impact Statements developed by NRC. We provide a template for the types of information needed for safe siting of nuclear facilities with ...
The technology for the advanced light water reactors, the high temperature gas cooled reactors and hydrogen production initiatives that are in the process of being developed by nuclear reactor suppliers will need new materials, materials data design rules and more globally applicable code requirements. ...
