Slovenské elektrárne has outlined details of a scheme to deliver heat for the town of Tlmače from the Mochovce nuclear power plant.

France-based Newcleo has signed framework agreements with Slovakian companies JAVYS and VUJE  which could lead to up to four of its 200 MWe lead-cooled fast reactors at the Bohunice site.

The second stage of cold hydro testing of the primary circuit has begun at Mochovce nuclear power plant's unit 4 in Slovakia.

Slovenské elektrárne says that the Mochovce 4 nuclear unit has passed tests of its active and passive emergency safety systems.

Slovakia has been awarded a grant from the USA's Nuclear Expediting the Energy Transition (NEXT) project for help in selecting a site for the construction of small modular reactors in the country.

UK-headquartered innovative reactor developer Newcleo and Slovak nuclear engineering and services firm VUJE have signed a cooperation agreement to establish closer collaboration on developing advanced modular reactor technologies and advanced fuel cycle solutions in the Slovak Republic.

Slovak utility Slovenské elektrárne has signed a contract with France's Framatome for the long-term supply of nuclear fuel to the VVER-440 reactors at its Bohunice and Mochovce plants, starting from 2027.

The Slovak Republic government is aiming to develop details of proposals for a new nuclear power unit at Bohunice by October - with South Korea, as well as the USA and France, among potential partners.

A feasibility study, as part of the US-funded Project Phoenix, is looking into the potential for small modular reactors in Slovakia with an indicative timeline to 2035.
