Unit 1 of the Qinshan Phase III nuclear power plant near Shanghai in China's Zhejiang province was taken offline on 1 May after 738 days of continuous operation. It has set a new record for the longest uninterrupted operation of a power reactor in China as well as a world record for an operating run for a Candu-6 reactor.

The Nuclear Regulation Authority has approved a draft report that concludes unit 3 of the Tomari nuclear power plant on Japan's northern Hokkaido island meets the new regulatory safety standards, a prerequisite for its restart.

The network will eventually securely link together all computers, work stations, systems and sensors at the El Dabaa nuclear power plant in Egypt. 

A ceremony has been held to mark the final official acceptance of unit 3 at the Karachi nuclear power plant in Pakistan's Sindh province. Constructed by China National Nuclear Corporation, it is the second Chinese-supplied Hualong One reactor at the site.

Ontario's Independent Electricity System Operator has verified that Bruce Power has met the terms and conditions to proceed with its fourth Major Component Replacement Project.

Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant has been under Russian military control since March 2022 and its director has said he expects Russian licences for operation of all units to be obtained by the end of 2027. Ukraine's Energoatom says any talk of restarting the units is a violation of nuclear and radiation safety standards.

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has renewed for a second time the operating licences of units 1-3 at Duke Energy's Oconee nuclear power plant in South Carolina for an additional 20 years.

German nuclear technology association Kerntechnik Deutschland e.V. says that restarting the country's nuclear power plants "offers a safe, economically viable and climate-friendly alternative to the current energy policy". It says that up to six shut down reactors could technically resume operation.

International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi says they "stand ready" to support the implementation of any future agreement regarding Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, after its status was included in ceasefire talks.
