A decision has been taken to increase the water levels in the used fuel pools at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, amid ongoing concerns about possible losses of off-site power, the International Atomic Energy Agency has said.
 

The 157-tonne steel core catcher has been installed in place at what will be the eighth unit at the Leningrad nuclear power plant in Russia.
 

The start of site preparation works for the Kola II nuclear power units follows the granting of a site licence by Russian regulator Rostekhnadzor earlier this month.
 

Rosatom's mining division has reported that three kilometres of mine workings have been completed ahead of schedule by underground mining crews as part of the development of the Shirondukuyskoye deposit.
 

Rosatom has said that a two-week World Association of Nuclear Operators peer review mission to the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit assessed it for compliance with global best practices.
 

Rosatom Director General Alexei Likhachev told reporters in Beijing that Russia and China both think "a century ahead" in developing nuclear energy, and said the Russian state nuclear corporation plans to "continue localising fuel fabrication technologies".
 

The state nuclear corporation Rosatom says it is cutting costs, is aiming for 12% annual productivity growth and currently has projects for 18 new nuclear units in Russia in "various stages of implementation".
 

Russia's nuclear regulatory Rostekhnadzor has issued site licences for the first two proposed units at the new Kola Nuclear Power Plant.
 

The International Atomic Energy Agency said its Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi "condemns the reported incident which he says represents an unacceptable attack on the plant and its management, seriously threatening nuclear safety".
