Rosatom scientists have completed a key stage of reactor tests on laboratory fuel samples for a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). Russia views HTGRs as important to future plans for the production of hydrogen. An engineering nuclear power station (AETS -Atomnoi EnregoTekhnologicheskoi Stantsii) based on HTGRs is being developed by nuclear utility Rosenergoatom (part of Rosatom) as part of an investment project to create domestic technologies for the large-scale production and consumption of hydrogen and hydrogen-containing products.

French nuclear engineering group Framatome reported revenue of almost €4.1bn ($4.4bn) in 2023, with an organic increase of 9.1% compared with 2022. The growth was driven by the development of EPR projects in France and the UK and by an increase in service activities for EDF in France. New orders reached €4.bn in 2023, with significant successes for services to the installed fleet and fuel fabrication in Europe and North America.
