The IAEA has confirmed that Iran has begun enriching uranium to 20%. The hot tests are carried out at the Shidao Bay-1 unit under construction in China with two high-temperature gas-cooled HTR-PM reactors, Topics: Leningrad NPP, Iran, China, HTGR, Nuclear News Tickers Other news: Akkuyu Nuclear JSC Obtains the Construction License of Akkuyu NPP Unit 3 The license application package was submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) on March 28, 2019. Rosatom starts production of rare-earth magnets for wind power generation The first sets of magnets have been manufactured and shipped to the customer. Unit No. 1 at the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant has been brought to minimum control power Minimum control power level is reached when neutron flux is recorded in a reactor working at a level sufficient to sustain a fission chain reaction.

Hero of the day Victor Murogov This critical analysis of the history, state, and prospects of development of modern nuclear technologies shows that nuclear energy market has practically monopolized the design and construction of only one type of reactors (95% of NPPs under construction use pressurized water reactors), which necessitates training of focused specialists involved in the construction and operation of those nuclear power plants.   INTERVIEW Vladimir Kriventsev The International Atomic Energy Agency brings together the fast reactor and related fuel cycle community and countries and the wider public interested in these technologies by organising the International Conference on Fast Reactors and Related Fuel Cycles: Sustainable Clean Energy for the Future or FR21. OPINION Vyacheslav Kupriyanov, Victor Murogov To sum up, we can say that from above we see a set of tasks and areas of activity that must be solved and developed to build the nuclear power of the future, and from below we see an understanding of how it can be done.
