Westinghouse says the completion of zero-power high-temperature criticality testing for the microreactor, which saw it reach criticality at 663 degrees Celsius, is a defining milestone in the programme's build-test-learn development journey.
 

The US Department of the Army has selected five microreactor developers for deployment at five Department of War installations as part of its USD2.2 billion Janus Program.
 

Holtec International says the HI-TEST facility - a one-third scale representation - will probe the SMR-300 design margin and potentially support future power uprates.
 

EDF and Westinghouse have been awarded contracts by the Nuclear Energy Organisation of the Netherlands - the state-owned company established for the construction and operation of two new large nuclear power plants - to carry out design studies for the plants.
 

Zero-power criticality testing for the eVinci microreactor has been successfully completed, Westinghouse Electric Company has announced.
 

Centrus Energy Corp and X-Energy have signed an agreement for Centrus to provide enrichment services for low-enriched uranium and high-assay low-enriched uranium to fuel Xe-100 high-temperature gas-cooled small modular reactors.
 

A series of agreements between Westinghouse Electric Company and Amentum aims to support the fleet-scale deployment of the AP1000 reactor and to collaborate on gaining regulatory approval of the AP300 small modular reactor.
 

The spin-off from BAE Systems has raised GBP15 million (USD19.9 million) funding and emerged from stealth with a nuclear reactor design combined with high-temperature turbine technology, which it says will lead to lower energy costs.
 

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".
