2023, a pivotal year for SMRs?
Small modular reactors (SMRs) could potentially address the slowdown in the nuclear power industry. They possess several benefits, including compact physical size, lowered capital expenses, and the capability to be placed in areas that larger nuclear plants cannot. For example, they could be placed in former coal-fired power stations. In addition to their sm
Rush for fusion!
The Fusion Industry Association conducted a survey of nuclear fusion players around the world in 2022. A great report full to the brim with details which I highly recommend you to look into: Link to report. We discover here that an increasing number of private companies are aiming to deliver commercial fusion and are producing significant […]
WNE 2021 – The countdown is on !
The 4th edition of the World Nuclear Exhibition (WNE), the world’s largest exhibition dedicated to the civil nuclear sector, chaired by French Ambassador Sylvie Bermann, will take place from Tuesday 30 November to Thursday 2 December 2021, at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre (Hall 7). WNE brings together the global civil nuclear community
3D printing in the nuclear industry
The nuclear sector is not known for being the most innovative industry. Because of the strict – but justified – regulations, the introduction of innovations is a lengthy process. A few months ago, Damona helped a spin-off from a UK university and showed them how tedious it can be! So when we saw 3D printing […]
Nuclear decontamination considerations & proven advantages
Introduction Decontamination is a major activity that may be used to accomplish several goals, such as reducing occupational exposures, limiting potential releases and uptakes of radioactive materials, salvage equipment and materials or facilitate waste management. It is defined as the radioactive contamination transfer from a support to a material that can
Let’s get technical when it comes to decommissioning
To wrap up our series of insights on DEM2021, the international conference on nuclear decommissioning, let’s get into the nitty gritty technical details of nuclear decommissioning. If decommissioning a nuclear facility was only tearing down buildings and dismantling pipelines, it would be somehow a lot easier. However, when you have to deal with radi
Innovation in nuclear decommissioning
Last time, we discussed about high level considerations to have when decommissioning of a nuclear fleet: D&D programme / strategy, radiological initial state characterisation and stakeholder involvement. Today, let’s talk about innovation in the decommissioning space. DEM2021, the international conference on decommissioning organised by SFEN, wil
First steps of nuclear cleanup
This year, DEM2021, the international decommissioning conference is going to discuss some fascinating topics on D&D. It will all take place on the 13th to 15th of September in Avignon, France. We, at inTechBrew, will be present at DEM2021. So, we decided to go through what the best bits from the upcoming DEM2021 are likely to be. […]
