Keralam is seeking a dedicated power plant and advanced energy storage systems to address its growing electricity needs. Discussions with NTPC have led to plans for a 2000 MWh Battery Energy Storage System and two 80 MWh BESS projects, alongside power supply agreements and technical collaboration.
Recent construction milestones have been reached at Hualong One reactor projects in China, including significant concrete pours at the Zhangzhou and Zhaoyuan nuclear power plants. These developments mark progress in civil engineering and prepare for core equipment installation.
BWXT's BANR microreactor has been chosen for an Indigenous-led Transportable Nuclear Power Plant (TNPP) project in Canada. The project aims to validate logistics and operations for a potential fleet deployment across Canada's North and international markets.
Poland has revised its nuclear power program, delaying the commercial operation of its first unit to 2036 and outlining plans for a second plant. The updated program emphasizes domestic industry participation, workforce development, and regulatory strengthening.
The Uranium Corporation of India Limited (UCIL) plans to significantly contribute to India's nuclear energy expansion. UCIL has developed expertise and infrastructure in uranium mining and processing over six decades, supporting the country's nuclear power program.
Holtec has submitted the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report (PSAR) to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its Pioneer 1 & 2 SMR-300 units planned for the Palisades site. This marks the second phase of the Construction Permit Application process, which began in December 2025.
The governments of South Korea and the United States have announced a comprehensive agreement to construct new megawatt-class nuclear reactors at U.S. sites. This initiative aims to enhance energy security and establish resilient supply chains through industrial cooperation between the two nations.
Holtec has submitted the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its Pioneer 1 and 2 SMR-300 small modular reactors at the Palisades site. This submission is a key step in establishing the regulatory framework for the project, which aims to bring the reactors online in the early 2030s.
Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Ltd (GSECL) and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a 4,000 MW nuclear power project in Dhuvaran, Anand district. This project, estimated at approximately Rs 1 lakh crore, marks GSECL's entry into nuclear power generation.
The United States Department of Commerce announced that South Korea plans to invest $120 billion in U.S. nuclear power projects. This investment is part of a larger $200 billion commitment across three projects, with a significant portion allocated to the construction of eight large nuclear reactors at federal sites.
The United States and South Korea are deepening their strategic cooperation in the global nuclear power market, with plans for new reactor builds and significant investments in the nuclear supply chain. This collaboration aims to leverage US technological expertise and South Korean supply chain capabilities.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued the first construction permit for a commercial small modular reactor (SMR) in the United States to the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). This permit allows TVA to construct the BWRX-300 SMR at its Clinch River site, marking a significant step for advanced nuclear technology in the country.
