Fincantieri, based in Trieste and the largest shipbuilder in Europe, won the deal to supply equipment for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, a multinational collaboration aimed at building an experimental hydrogen fusion reactor at Cadarache in the south of France.
Fincantieri said in a statement that the work would include a number of high-profile systems, components, installations as part of the Iter project.
A temporary consortium has been established for the work. It includes Fincantieri itself as the main contractor, its subsidiary Fincantieri SI, active in the field of plant design and industrial-scale electrical, electronic and electromechanical components, Delta-ti Impianti, specialised in mechanical plant engineering, and Comes, specialised in electrical plant engineering.

Nuclear power can play a major role in reducing carbon emissions beyond electricity supply to include the industrial and transportation sectors, a fact that is leading to interest in integrated energy systems (IES), José Reyes, chief technology officer at NuScale Power, said yesterday. Reyes, who is co-designer of NuScale's passively-cooled small modular reactor (SMR), spoke at the International Conference on Climate Change and the Role of Nuclear Power being held this week at the International Atomic Energy Agency's headquarters in Vienna.

The US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced on 2 August that it had awarded BWXT Nuclear Energy (a subsidiary of BWX Technologies) a three-year $18.8m contract to begin conceptual designs for a nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) reactor in support of a possible future manned mission to Mars. Researchers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama, say nuclear thermal propulsion technologies are more promising than ever, and BWXT Nuclear Energy has been contracted “to further advance and refine those concepts”.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking to identify commercial organizations capable of providing technical assistance in performing experimental measurements in a controlled laboratory environment simulating the reflood scenario after a postulated LOCA of a nuclear reactor. The facility shall be capable to test the heater rods at full core height to a temperature of 2200 Deg F, and capable to provide steady-state and various mass flow rate for a system pressure from 20 to 60 psia.
