Rising electricity demand, shocks in energy security and climate commitments are reviving long-stalled plans for nuclear power across Southeast Asia. But proponents of nuclear energy still face major obstacles. Southeast Asian governments are revisiting nuclear power as electricity consumption raises, exposing the region’s dependence on fossil fuels. The rise is largely driven by new factories, electric …
The United States is pressing suppliers to accelerate development of uranium enrichment capacity to avert potential shortages as interest in nuclear power grows, two United States Department of Energy officials told Reuters. Multiple countries are seeking to expand nuclear power by building reactors or restarting mothballed power plants to meet rising electricity demand, largely caused by increased use of artificial intelligence. The heightened …
Four billion metric tons of uranium sit dissolved in the world’s oceans right now, roughly 1,000 times the total identified in hard-rock mines worldwide. A US startup called Fluxnium just emerged from stealth with a plan to get at it, backed by $7 million in seed funding and chemistry licensed from the US Department of Energy. The catch: extracting that uranium currently …
France’s EDF plans to build 10 small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) in the European Union by 2035 under a project aiming to help the bloc reduce its dependency on fossil fuel imports, an EDF executive said on Friday. The state-owned French power group plans to use a technology developed by its NUWARD subsidiary for the …
A model of a Hualong One Nuclear Reactor Unit 3 of the Huaneng Changjiang Nuclear Power Phase II project officially commenced commercial operation on Thursday, marking the entry into service of South China’s Hainan province’s first reactor powered by Hualong One, China’s indigenously developed third-generation nuclear technology. The milestone represents the first time that China …
The state-run power major is exploring international nuclear technologies and evaluating cost-plus models as part of its long-term clean energy expansion strategy. India’s largest power producer, is planning to develop 50 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2047, according to a research note by JM Financial following a management interaction with NTPC Chairman and Managing Director …
Seoul delayed its U.S. investment package as disputes persist over a Texas power plant, a Westinghouse stake and Alaska liquefied natural gas. With Korea having postponed the announcement of its investment package for the United States, the two sides still appear to be struggling to bridge sticking points over a gas-fired power plant in Texas …
The U.S. nuclear power regulator’s overhaul of rules, part of a push to cut approval times for new reactors to 18 months, will continue well into next year, its chairman told Reuters on Tuesday, as the Trump administration seeks to quadruple the country’s nuclear capacity by 2050. To help meet power demand surging from electric …
