AI’s nuclear opportunity - Nuclear Engineering International
Oct 3, 2024 · The outcome is a report, ‘AI for Energy’ that sets out ‘grand challenges’ for AI applications in nuclear energy over the next decade, as well as for the power grid, carbon management, energy storage and energy materials. The experts were optimistic: they found that AI offers the ability to assess much larger system models, make more use ...
Uranium price trends sending market signals - Nuclear …
May 30, 2024 · Global uranium prices, which almost doubled in 2023, have continued the trend with further price rises this year. The spot price of uranium oxide has already exceeded US$106 per pound, returning to a level last seen in 2007 and prior to the tsunami-prompted accident at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant which curtailed much of the optimism nuclear had enjoyed at that time and when ...
China to build first thorium molten salt NPP in Gobi Desert
Jul 31, 2024 · Now China plans to build the world’s first NPP based on molten salt in the Gobi desert. Construction will begin in 2025 with the aim of developing safer and more environmentally friendly nuclear energy. The reactor does not need water for cooling, since it uses liquid salt and carbon dioxide to transfer heat and generate electricity.

Oklo advances Idaho nuclear site plans
Oct 2, 2024 · Oklo received a site permit in 2019 from the DOE to build its first Aurora facility at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). In 2020, Oklo submitted a combined licence application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to build and operate the Aurora microreactor at INL. However, NRC denied the application, citing the company’s failure to ...
Copenhagen Atomics: the story so far
Jul 24, 2024 · Copenhagen Atomics’ six milestones. The technology being developed by Copenhagen Atomics is a heavy water moderated thorium molten salt reactor built into a 40-foot container, manufactured in a similar way to how cars are produced today. The plan is to mass manufacture the reactors on an assembly line, with an output of one reactor per day ...
