The maritime industry is looking closely at nuclear power to replace heavy fuel oil as advances in small modular reactor (SMRs) designs move toward demonstration.
Powering maritime vessels with nuclear reactors will reduce emissions and remove the need for expensive bunkering, but regulatory and safety concerns may sink any projects before they...
The failure of a high profile small modular reactor (SMR) contract in the United States has prompted concerns that Gen IV nuclear may be further off than expected.
Work on a mobile microreactor for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) will help lay a path for the development and deployment of commercially available advanced nuclear technology.
Finland’s plan to power much of its district heating systems with nuclear is moving forward via a VTT spin-off company that aims to build and commercialize a reactor-based heating...
The harmonization of licensing and regulatory practices and open collaboration between national nuclear power regulators is essential to the successful global deployment of next...
U.S. regulators have, until recently, only licensed large, gigawatt-sized, water-cooled reactors, so the publication of methodology reports on how to approach advanced reactors helps...
