Radiant to build nuclear generator factory in Oak Ridge

Centrica has partnered with US company X-energy UK to develop the UK’s first Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs), a next-generation nuclear technology designed to provide clean, reliable energy. The joint development agreement sets out plans to build a national fleet of AMRs with a total capacity of 6 gigawatts (GW). That’s enough electricity to power around 14 million homes, while generating an estimated £43 billion in economic value and creating thousands of skilled jobs.

Canadian SMR development and operations company Nucleon Energy Inc and Canada and USA-based nuclear reactor technology company ARC Clean Technology Canada Inc have announced the formation of a partnership entity named NuARC. NuARC is focused on the development and deployment of affordable, reliable and non-emitting electrical generation facilities using ARC's small modular reactor technology with an initial focus in Alberta, Canada. ARC is developing the ARC-100 100 MWe sodium-cooled advanced SMR.

The UK and US have signed a historic $100bn partnership to expand nuclear energy, including advanced small modular reactors. This collaboration aims to power millions of homes, create thousands of jobs, and support clean, reliable energy for the future.

Centrus Energy Corp. is planning a multi-billion-dollar expansion of its uranium enrichment plant in Piketon, Ohio. The project could add 300 operations jobs and 1,000 construction jobs while bolstering U.S. capacity for advanced nuclear fuel — positioning southern Ohio at the center of America’s push for energy security and innovation. ✅ The story: https://lnkd.in/euPyij48 -- JobsOhio | OhioSE | OhioX | Ohio Tech Events

⚛️ UK-US deal halves licencing times for nuclear projects. The new partnership is expected to cut licencing from 4 years to 2, unlock billions in private investment, create tens of thousands of construction and engineering jobs, and deliver new advanced modular reactors, small modular reactors, and site redevelopments across the UK. With government and industry backing, nuclear is poised to be a core part of the UK's clean energy strategy and a major driver of regional growth. #NuclearEnergy #EnergyTransition #Construction

Advanced nuclear reactor startup Oklo has broken ground on the construction to build its Aurora Powerhouse on land within the Idaho National Laboratory. Oklo is one of the 10 advanced reactor firms chosen by the U.S. Department of Energy to be a part of its Reactor Pilot Program. The DOE pilot seeks to fast-track small modular reactor (SMR) development, pushing the projects to reach criticality by next July 4. Aurora-INL is one of the three projects awarded to Oklo under the program, with two awarded directly to Oklo and one awarded to its subsidiary, Atomic Alchemy. Kietwit Corp.’s Nuclear Solutions subsidiary is the lead design, procurement and construction contractor on the Aurora Powerhouse project at the KNL. The Aurora is a planned sodium-cooled fast reactor which will use metal fuel. Its design builds on the Experimental Breeder Reactor II site which was operated in Idaho for 30 years until 1994. TIME magazine named Oklo's Aurora Powerhouse as one of its 100 Best Inventions of 2023. Other SMR nuclear firms selected for the DOE pilot include Aalo Atomics, Antares Nuclear Inc., Atomic Alchemy Inc., Deep Fission Inc., Last Energy Inc., Natura Resources LLC, Radiant Industries Inc., Terrestrial Energy Inc., and Valar Atomics Inc. Those selected firms are encouraged and empowered to seek private funding critical to research and development of next-generation reactor technologies. The DOE pathway also helps streamline regulatory processes normally held under the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which takes multiple years to complete. No SMRs have yet been built or commissioned in the U.S., although some projects are also advancing in other nations such as Canada, Russia and China. Several U.S. SMR applications are progressing toward construction and design approvals by the NRC, but the new DOE program seeks to speed that process up. Many power sector leaders say that expanded nuclear capacity will help meet future data center and AI load while also decarbonizing the grid.
