Governor Glenn Youngkin has signed into law two bills that will support ambitions for Virginia to include small modular reactors (SMRs) as part of an "all-of-the-above" energy plan released last year. Projects on SMR feasibility and supply chain have also received a share of USD8.1 million of grant awards announced by the governor.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and US President Joe Biden have pledged to coordinate efforts to develop secure and reliable nuclear fuel supply chains in North America and build partnerships to help ensure access to low-enriched uranium. They will launch a one-year task force to accelerate cooperation on critical clean energy opportunities and supply chains, and Canada is to join a US-led programme to support small modular reactors (SMR).

Possible reactor location is large mill in north of country Fortum said one possible location for a reactor is Outokumpu’s largest steel mill near Tornio. Courtesy Outokumpu. Finland-based energy company Fortum and stainless steel manufacturer Outokumpu have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore the decarbonisation of Outokumpu’s operations with emerging nuclear technologies such as small modular reactors.

The agreement begins what Fortum said would be “a long-term process” with the aim to assess potential construction of SMRs in Finland.

One possible option for the location would be Tornio region in northern Finland, where Outokumpu’s largest mill is situated.

In the first phase, the goal is to identify potential business models and technical solutions for further development. Any potential investment decisions will be made at a later stage, Fortum said.

“Decarbonising heavy industries is a prerequisite for reaching carbon-neutrality in Europe and this requires significant amounts of clean energy,” Fortum president and chief executive officer Markus Rauramo said.
