Core Power of the U.K. has announced that it will develop a “U.S.-based” maritime civil nuclear program that will “bring floating nuclear power to market by the mid-2030s”. Core Power plans mass production of floating nuclear power plants.

It was announced last Tuesday that four small-scale nuclear reactors are to be hosted on Texas A&M University land. CEOs from four nuclear power companies have agreed to work with the Texas A&M System to develop prototype and commercial-ready "small modular reactors" (SMRs). The first SMR has the potential to be constructed within five years.

As cancer rates in the developed nations rise due to lifestyle and environmental pollution, so does the need for the nuclear isotopes used in detecting those cancers in a medical setting. But with many reactors built in the Seventies and Eighties being scheduled for shutdown and decommissioning, the nuclear isotopes used in medicine are becoming rarer and more expensive. Now, a startup from Bristol, U.K.

India alone plans to bring onstream an additional fourteen gigawatts of conventional nuclear capacity by 2032. By 2033, India wants to build five indigenously developed small modular reactors. These could fill niche power requirements although their contribution to total power generation would be modest.
