The generator stator has been hoisted into place at the ACP100 small modular reactor demonstration project at the Changjiang site on China's island province of Hainan, China National Nuclear Corporation has announced.

Dutch heavy lifting and transport specialist Mammoet has launched the world's strongest land-based crane, the SK6000, which it says "unlocks new modular construction options for nuclear facilities, with increased cost-effectiveness and safety".

A robust supply chain is needed to enable new reactors to be built on time, on budget and at the scale needed to meet decarbonisation goals - and major players in the nuclear engineering, procurement and construction sector shared some of the experiences and lessons learned from projects both nuclear and non-nuclear at World Nuclear Symposium 2024.
