The IEA’s World Energy Investment report said global energy investment this year is projected to reach $2.4tn (€2.28tn), with the bulk going into renewables and grids.
However, almost half of the increase in capital spending is linked to higher costs due to supply chain pressures instead of bringing additional energy supply capacity or savings.

Thor, a 149-metre replenishment, research and rescue vessel, will feature a thorium molten salt reactor (MSR) that will enable the vessel to operate as a mobile power/charging station for cruise ships.
Ulstein said the vessel concept is “capable of making the vision of zero-emission cruise operations a reality and “could be the missing piece of the zero emissions puzzle for a broad range of maritime and ocean industry applications”.

The proposed new plants to need the steam turbines are Units 1 to 4 of the Gorakhpur nuclear power project in the northern Haryana state and Units 5 and 6 of the existing Kaiga nuclear station in the western Karnataka state.
GE said these six units form the first stage of a plan by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) to build 12 indigenously developed 700-MW pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWR), a domestic design based on Canada’s Candu type.

Last week, Barakah-3 received an operating licence from the UAE nuclear regulatory authority which also meant fuel loading was given the go-ahead.
Barakah, in the Al Dhafra region of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, is one of the largest nuclear energy new-build projects in the world, with four APR-1400 units supplied by South Korea. Construction began in 2012 and the project as a whole is now more than 96% complete.

The task force has released a report setting out its initial observations of regulatory aspects of the proposed advanced liquid processing system, known as Alps, which will be use for the discharge of treated water.
The task force said it recognised that some aspects of independent monitoring by the regulatory body, the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA), are clearly present in the plans, including the monitoring of the same sample locations by different organisations, including Fukushima-Daiichi owner Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco), the NRA and the contracting of accredited commercial laboratories by the NRA.

The Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR) said that under the licence, Nawah Energy Company, the subsidiary of Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (Enec) responsible for operating the plant, is authorised to operate it for 60 years
The assessment process included reviewing the plant’s layout design and analysis of the site’s location in terms of geography and demography. The assessment also included the reactor design, cooling systems, security arrangements, emergency preparedness, radioactive waste management and other technical aspects. FANR assessed Nawah’s organisational and manpower readiness.
FANR reviewed a 14,000-page operating licence application that also included Unit 4, conducted more than 120 inspections and requested additional information for Unit 3 on various matters related to reactor design, safety and other issues.
