These projects are essential for the future of the UK's energy supply

Assystem proudly supports Slovenia's JEK 2 #Nuclear Project! We have contributed to the economic analysis review of Slovenia's JEK 2 project in collaboration with EY. The report, presented on the 18th October, indicates that while Gen energy’s overall cost estimates for the JEK project are acceptable, several key factors will significantly impact the final costs. Among these, adhering to the construction timeline is critical for managing the finances of the project. With a consultative referendum scheduled in Slovenia for November 24, 2024, on the construction of a second unit at Krško (JEK2), this report confirms the project's financial viability. It also serves as a reminder of its importance for national #Energysecurity and Europe's #Energy resilience. "The most important influence on construction costs is the time in which the power plant is built. One year of delay in the construction of a large reactor represents at least half a billion euros of additional costs. Taking into account the expected deadlines and the shortest possible construction time is therefore crucial," said Assystem’s Deputy Director, Stéphane Aubarbier. We are ready to support Slovenia in achieving its ambitious nuclear energy goals, ensuring timely and cost-effective delivery, while contributing to the country’s energy independence and sustainability.  #Assystem

#ICYMI A USTDA-funded small modular reactor #SMR project in Romania has reached a significant milestone in its progress toward implementation following the signing of a contract between Fluor Corporation and Romania’s RoPower Nuclear for a second front-end engineering and design study. Previously funded USTDA activities, including the first FEED study, have significantly advanced the project’s development while contributing to Romania’s selection of SMR technology from Oregon-based NuScale Power for the project. USTDA Director Enoh T. Ebong was present for the contract signing, which took place in Bucharest. Read more about USTDA's work on the project: https://lnkd.in/erqpHBmK #Nuclear #Energy #Romania

Rolls-Royce SMR has welcomed the report by NESO (National Energy System Operator) giving advice on achieving clean power for Great Britain by 2030, which outlines the potential contribution from small modular reactors (SMRs). The report describes how ‘Nuclear power will play an important role in achieving a clean power system by 2030 and beyond into the 2030s’. On SMRs specifically, NESO states ‘Government could consider the value of bringing this [SMR] rollout forward’. As the only SMR company in the final step of the UK’s regulatory approvals, Rolls-Royce SMR is well placed to deliver on this opportunity to move at pace and deliver the next generation of nuclear for the UK. The report also identifies the importance of reforms to planning processes and by streamlining processes – while maintaining community consent – critical national infrastructure can be deployed quickly and efficiently and at a lower cost to the consumer. https://lnkd.in/eZaHkqRt #RollsRoyceSMR #CleanPower #NetZero #SMR

ČEZ Signs Safety Contract for Development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) ČEZ has signed a safety agreement with the Czech government for the development of small and medium-sized modular reactors (SMRs). This contract ensures the state's security interests during the selection of a future partner for SMR construction, as mandated by the Low Carbon Act. Minister of Industry & Trade Jozef Síkela highlighted the role of SMRs in the Czech Republic's energy future, providing electricity and heat while replacing aging coal plants. The first SMR is planned for the Temelín NPP, with other sites under consideration. #CzechEnergy #SMRs #Nuclear #CzechTradeScandinavia Link below: https://lnkd.in/eVrtAAXy

Best invest in Building and talking about Fusion power, space, and maritime propulsion systems and industry as data centres are. You talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is, ignorant of what's happening around you. Pull your uranium heads out, start adjusting your industry to fusion energy and start preparing to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. As it dawns on Earth like the sun. Great Headline Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an accelerated pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place," and merely a temporary industry globally. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk Commercial fusion electrical generation is a promising innovative sustainable and clean energy method. By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now see what is happening in the Fusion industry in the world. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real,
