Countries around the world turned to nuclear as a reliable low-carbon energy source as they looked for ways to wean themselves off Russian imports and lower carbon emissions.
New plants began operating, deals for small modular reactors were signed and countries announced ambitious plans for new-build.
On the political front, US president Joe Biden signed into law new legislation that will help to finance struggling nuclear reactors and could save dozens from being shut down early. In Europe, the nuclear industry celebrated when members of the European parliament decided to “follow the science” and support legislation which includes nuclear in the bloc’s sustainable finance taxonomy for green investment.

Rolls-Royce said the sale comprises civil nuclear services businesses in the US and Canada along with sites at Mondragon, France, and Gateshead, UK, which are part of its power systems business unit.
The sale does not include the instrumentation and controls business based in Grenoble, France, which remains under review.
It also does not include Rolls-Royce’s UK nuclear new build operations or small modular reactor activities.
The company is heading an SMR consortium which plans to install and operate “factory-built power stations” capable of competing on price with low-cost renewables such as offshore wind.
