NDA Group presents at UK Parliament on nuclear decommissioning

Great British Energy - Nuclear has submitted a planning application to carry out ground investigations in connection with a proposed new nuclear power plant at the existing Oldbury site in South Gloucestershire, UK. "It was announced by the UK Government in the Spring Budget in 2024 that GBE-N had acquired both the Wylfa Newydd site in North Wales and Oldbury-on-Severn site in South Gloucestershire from Horizon Nuclear Power," GBE-N said. "To facilitate the wider future development of the Oldbury-on-Severn site, it is necessary for GBE-N to now carry out site characterisation works." It noted the proposed works comprise two main components: exploratory holes across the site, cone penetration testing, dynamic sampling and the formation of trial and observation pits; and a load test to understand the potential settlement characteristics of the existing superficial soils.

How can UK nuclear secure the workforce it needs? #LinkedInNewsUK The UK is well known to have the foundation of technical expertise in the nuclear sector, however there is a significant need to invest in skills development, attract new talent, and create a supportive environment for workforce growth. Without this the country may struggle to meet its ambitious nuclear energy objectives.

Tetra Engineering Group Inc. is proud to announce our global nuclear business collaboration with Environment & Energy Technology, Inc. (en2t) for Nuclear Power projects. This partnership brings together decades of expertise in nuclear engineering. en2t is led by our old friend and colleague, Suk K. Sim, Ph.D., whose extensive experience with CE/ABB-CE, KAERI, and the Korean nuclear industry in the latest PWR projects, complements Tetra Engineering Group Inc. long experience in nuclear power applications. With a multinational presence in the USA, France, UAE, and Korea, our teams are uniquely positioned to support a diverse range of nuclear power plant suppliers, owners, and developers. Together, we aim to advance sustainable nuclear energy solutions across the globe and we look forward to the innovation and impact this collaboration will bring to the future of clean energy. #NuclearEnergy #TetraEngineering #CleanEnergy

The headlines this week aren’t about reactors, they’re about risk. The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has warned it could run out of operational funding within days if the federal shutdown continues. That means potential furloughs for staff overseeing nuclear stockpile safety, and delays to energy security and defence programmes. It’s a reminder that nuclear isn’t just about clean energy, it’s also about continuity, safety, and stewardship. When the systems that protect and regulate nuclear operations pause, everything else in the chain slows down. In an era where we’re talking about scaling up new nuclear, SMRs, AMRs, fusion, and fuel cycle innovation, maintaining stable, well funded institutions is just as critical as building the technology itself. Engineering can solve problems, but governance keeps the lights on. #regulator #SMR #AMR #Fusion #EnergySecurity #USnuclear

Turkey is in talks with the U.S. and South Korea to build its second nuclear power plant. Beyond energy security, this is a fascinating case of multi-country, multi-project cooperation. A trilateral project like this is not just about technology transfer or financing. It’s about how three partners with different priorities, cultures, and processes manage to align their resources and timelines. From my perspective in project management, the biggest risks come not from reactors or steel, but from: 🔹 Parallel agendas – each partner has its own goals. 🔹 Resource bottlenecks – engineers, suppliers, and budgets are finite. 🔹 Integration delays – a misalignment in one country can ripple across the whole plan. This is where I see the value of flow-based portfolio management. With a clear view of shared capacity and early detection of overload, countries (like companies) can keep such mega-projects moving forward instead of getting stuck. 📌 Lesson: Success in these strategic projects doesn’t come from announcing partnerships. It comes from building the right system to manage flow across borders and industries.

"𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭" 𝐚𝐬 𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐂 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐮𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬! 🚀 Exciting news from the nuclear energy sector as Sizewell C has secured two significant low-carbon fuel contracts. These deals, with Urenco and Framatome, are set to bolster the UK's energy security. The contracts will see natural uranium transformed into fuel pellets for the new nuclear power plant, significantly reducing reliance on fuel imports. What's more, this development is a massive win for job creation within the industry. It's predicted to support directly 10,000 jobs, plus thousands more in the supply chain, and create 1,500 apprenticeships. 🎉 This initiative also spells great news for British businesses, as 90% of the project's £38bn investment will be delivered by UK firms. Lord Patrick Vallace hailed this moment as a stride towards a "new golden age of nuclear." contact@cooperlomaz.co.uk | 01603 766760 #EnergySecurity #NuclearPower #JobCreation

The UK–US nuclear partnership announced last week marks the start of a golden age of nuclear for both countries. At CVE, we’re proud to support this ambition with our advanced welding technology (Ebflow), which is proven to accelerate the manufacture of nuclear pressure vessels — without compromising safety. Ebflow can help enable faster nuclear builds, ultimately helping to create more UK jobs, and greater energy security. Earlier this year we were visited by the Rt Hon Rachel Reeves, Ed Miliband and a team from Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and had the opportunity to explain what Ebflow is capable of and the time and cost savings it can enable in the nuclear sector. It goes without saying that we are ready to support the next phase of nuclear development in the UK.

Canada has started construction of nuclear reactors near Toronto and it has been deemed a project of national importance. With the backing of all levels of government, a strong Canadian supply chain, including Canadian advanced reactor manufacturing capabilities, extensive industrial nuclear construction expertise and impeccable regulatory alignment there is much to speak to the success of this as a project, nuclear and Canada. However no project is without risks, especially nuclear projects, and sometimes when the risk is identified, solved and mitigated at the project level as OPG has done, it reveals a greater risk to the whole nuclear industry which requires broader and deeper discussion to mitigate the risks for Canada and the Canadian nuclear industry. Read my article (link in the comments) as we identify this hidden Canadian risk which the DNNP project reveals
