Nuclear NewsNEW Front-end nuclear fuel supply cooperation: Turning allied interdependence into strategic advantageThe Sapporo Five nations are coordinating front-end nuclear fuel cycle investments to reduce reliance on Russian enrichment services. This multilateral strategy aims to integrate mining, conversion, enrichment, and fabrication capabilities across allied countries. The initiative seeks to create a resilient, competitive supply chain capable of supporting global nuclear power expansion. Western nuclear operators face supply vulnerabilities as they transition away from Russian-controlled enrichment and conversion services. By treating allied capabilities as a single market, these nations intend to avoid redundant infrastructure while accelerating the qualification of new fuel forms. This cooperation is necessary to meet the rising demand for baseload power from data centers and climate-driven...Core Content 2 days ago 2
Nuclear NewsNEW What Does It Take to Reopen a Nuclear Power Plant?Efforts to restart the shuttered Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan have faced significant delays due to unexpected equipment corrosion, supply chain issues, and the need for extensive repairs. Holtec International, the plant operator, encountered these challenges while attempting to recommission the facility, which had been slated for permanent closure in 2022. The difficulties at Palisades highlight the technical and financial complexities of reviving aging nuclear infrastructure compared to maintaining active facilities. While the federal government is providing financial support to encour...Core Content Yesterday 1

Nuclear NewsNEW Porous tungsten scrubbed by glow discharge cleaningResearchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory demonstrated that glow discharge cleaning removes carbon and oxygen contaminants from porous tungsten samples used in fusion reactors. By exposing the material to neon plasma and heat within the Lithium Tokamak Experiment-Beta, the team successfully cleared pore blockages. This in situ process allows for the maintenance of liquid lithium-facing components without requiring the removal of hardware from the vacuum vessel. Researchers conducted experiments in Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory’s Lithium Tokamak Experiment-Beta (LTX-β) showing glow discharge cleaning can be used to effectively clean samples of porous tungsten—used to hold liquid lithium in fusion machine inner walls—manufactured from powder-reconstituted materials, according to a paper published in… Tungsten is widely used for plasma-facing components in fusion machines, especially in the divertor region where materials must withstand extreme levels of power flow. According to the paper, spark plasma sintering can be used to make tungsten into spongelike samples for...Core Content 3 days ago 1

Nuclear NewsNEW Diversification and the common groundThe Department of Energy is providing $17.5 billion in financing to support long-lead procurement for AP1000 reactor components. This initiative aims to reduce investment risks for manufacturers of pressure vessels and steam generators. Meanwhile, reactor developers are increasingly integrating modular construction and digital manufacturing techniques from the aerospace and wind energy sectors to accelerate project timelines and expand the industry supply chain. Who would have thought, just a few years ago, that we would see so many long-standing barriers to new nuclear development falling like dominoes? Public opinion, policy, regulatory reform, finance and investment, design maturity, nuclear fuel enrichment, and fuel fabrication capacity have all advanced with remarkable speed in the United States. Conventional wisdom holds that the most effective way to scale up the nuclear supply chain is to do so strategically, matching investments to the needs of reactor developers. A perfect example is the recent $17.5 billion award from the Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Dominance F...Core Content 4 days ago 1

Nuclear NewsNEW NRC shares more on reactor licensing proposed rule at virtual Q&AThe Nuclear Regulatory Commission held three virtual meetings to discuss a 550-page proposed rule aimed at modernizing reactor licensing, safety oversight, and siting. The proposal includes provisions for extended license durations and risk-informed, performance-based pathways for new and existing reactors. Public comments on the rulemaking are being accepted through August 31, with a final rule expected in December. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s proposed rule on modernizing reactor licensing, safety oversight, and siting practices ran over 550 pages when it was unveiled in July. To address the massive rulemaking, the NRC held three meetings last week to address all the topics. At the third and final meeting, NRC staff addressed license and permit durations, 10 CFR Parts 52 and 54 enhancements, changes to emergency preparedness, and decommissioning financial assurances for new reactor applicants. The NRC responds: Among the more notable proposals found in the rulemaking was the potential to change or extend the duration of early site permits, manufacturing licenses, and operati...Core Content 4 days ago 1

Nuclear NewsNEW NRC holds public meeting for proposed rule eliminating ALARAThe Nuclear Regulatory Commission held a public meeting regarding a proposed rule that would eliminate the as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) principle. The agency aims to replace this standard with a graded approach while maintaining current linear no-threshold models. Public comments on the proposal are being accepted through August 31. This shift represents a change in how licensees manage radiation protection and effluent reporting. While baseline dose limits for workers remain unchanged, the proposal introduces a caregiver concept to provide flexibility for medical patients. Industry observers are monitoring how these regulatory adjustments will impact site operations, reporting requirements, and the long-standing application of radiation safety standards in the field. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has proposed a change to how it will approach standards for radiation protections, notably including the elimination of the “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA) principle.
