The strategic cooperation agreement between Aecon, prime contractor for Canada’s first small modular reactor project, and Norwegian private nuclear developer Norsk Kjernekraft, will focus on the GE Vernova Hitachi BWRX-300 small modular reactor.
 

Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden all meet the technical requirements to host a pilot fusion reactor, but Finland is the most prepared in terms of regulatory readiness, according to a report conducted by Finland's VTT Technical Research Centre on behalf of Swedish fusion energy company Novatron Fusion Group.
 

At the request of Norwegian government, three state agencies have set out their proposed programme for the environmental impact assessment for a small modular reactor power plant in the municipalities of Aure and Heim. Meanwhile, a joint venture of Norsk Kjernekraft and Austrheim Municipality has begun the formal regulatory process to assess the construction of a nuclear power plant in Austrheim.
 

A proposal for an assessment programme for building a small modular reactor power plant in Grenland, southern Norway, has been submitted to the country's Ministry of Energy. Meanwhile, a project company has been established to investigate the construction of an SMR plant in the municipality of Vardø in Finnmark, north-eastern Norway.
 

A proposal for an assessment programme for building a small modular reactor power plant in the municipality of Lund has been submitted to Norway's Ministry of Energy. Meanwhile, project companies have been established to investigate the construction of SMR plants in Øygarden and Narvik.
 

An assessment programme has been submitted to the Governor of Svalbard for the construction of a small modular reactor power plant on the Norwegian Arctic archipelago, marking the first formal step towards building the facility.
 

Norwegian nuclear project developer Norsk Kjernekraft and energy developer Ocean-Power are to cooperate on the development of concepts of floating nuclear power plants based on small modular reactors.
 

Norway's Trondheimsleia Kjernekraft AS and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power are to conduct a feasibility study on the construction of a power plant based on multiple Korean-designed i-SMR reactors in the municipalities of Aure and Heim.
