Cracks have been identified in the emergency piping of EDF reactors at Penly 1, Penly 2 and Cattenom 3. Although this does not call into question the electricity production of the French nuclear fleet for the coming winter, it does highlight the importance of accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources.

GSE Solutions was chosen to upgrade the training simulators of the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant in Finland, owned by the Finnish company TVO. This two-phase contract, to be completed by August 2025, will enhance the operator training experience through the use of the latest simulation technologies.

Orano is relaunching the Imouraren uranium deposit project in Niger, after a pause of several years. This time, the group is opting for a more environmentally friendly method of extraction, while continuing to preserve the drinking water table.

EDF submits to ASN its revised reactor control strategy following the discovery of major cracks in the piping of certain nuclear power plants. Several cracks were detected, including one of unprecedented size at Penly 1.

French start-up Neext Engineering is partnering with major players in the nuclear industry to create a modular nuclear power plant. This integrated energy solution aims to decarbonize industry by producing electricity and heat, as well as other industrial solutions such as the production of hydrogen, ammonia or synthetic fuels.

EDF's decision to extend the life of two nuclear power plants at Heysham 1 and Hartlepool for two years has been welcomed by the UK government and Centrica. This will strengthen the country's energy supply and security.

Enel and New Cleo have announced a partnership to explore advanced Generation IV nuclear technologies. This partnership aims to develop safer, more sustainable and environmentally friendly nuclear reactors, with a significant reduction in the volume of radioactive waste.

On Monday, March 13, nearly 800 employees of the Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) demonstrated in Paris against the merger of their organization with the Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), planned in the bill on the acceleration of nuclear power.

Marvel Fusion, which specializes in laser-based inertial nuclear fusion, is seeking to raise hundreds of millions of euros in France to finance its experimental reactor. This revolutionary technology would make it possible to produce electricity without highly radioactive waste.

Japan continues to deal with the consequences of the unprecedented Fukushima disaster. While progress has been made in decontaminating the affected region, the management of radioactive water from the Fukushima plant remains a major challenge.

Greenpeace accuses the French nuclear industry of being under the sway of Russia, a dependence that calls into question France's position on sanctions against Rosatom and underlines the importance of diversifying the sources of nuclear energy supply.

The China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) is building the ACP100 reactor, an innovative project in the field of nuclear energy.

The French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) is launching an initiative to strengthen the country's "energy sovereignty" by creating two start-ups, Hexana and Stellaria, to develop a new generation of decarbonized Small Modular Reactors (SMR) capable of digesting existing nuclear waste.

EDF is facing new challenges in the maintenance of its nuclear plants in France. ASN reported the detection of thermal fatigue cracks in emergency piping in two reactors.

EDF Energy has announced a two-year extension to the life of its Hartlepool and Heysham 1 nuclear power stations in the UK. This decision will invest £1 billion over the period 2023-25 to help UK power stations maintain production.

Occupied by the Russian army for more than a year, the situation at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant is becoming increasingly critical. After a new wave of Russian strikes, the last line of communication between the plant and the Ukrainian power grid was cut and the plant went into "black out" mode.

The unions of the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) and the Institute for Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) have expressed reservations about the plan to merge the two organizations announced by the French government last February. Staff representatives are concerned about the consequences of this reform.

A new crack on an EDF nuclear reactor has just been discovered. This worrying situation has reopened the debate on the safety of the French nuclear fleet and requires additional controls to avoid any risk of leakage and guarantee the safety of the installations.
