China’s FDS consortium is currently working on projects to develop a family of reactors that use heavy metal as a coolant, Dr Liu Chao of the International Academy of Neutron Sciences in Chongqing told the Sixth International Scientific & Technical Conference on Innovative Designs and Technologies of Nuclear Power (ISTC NIKIET – 2023). During the plenary session of the conference held at Russia’s NA Dollezhal Scientific Research & Design Institute of Power Engineering (NIKIET), Dr Liu explained that neutron sources are the important experimental platform for the R&D of advanced nuclear energy and nuclear technology applications.

Canada’s particle accelerator centre, TRIUMF and General Fusion, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that provides a framework for scientific and technical collaboration. Canada’s General Fusion in August announced plans to build a new Magnetised Target Fusion (MTF) machine at the company’s new Richmond headquarters. This new MTF machine, Lawson Machine 26 (LM26), is designed to achieve fusion conditions of over 100m degrees Celsius by 2025, and to progress toward scientific breakeven by 2026.

The MTF is designed to achieve fusion conditions of over 100m degrees Celsius by 2025, and to progress toward scientific breakeven by 2026. General Fusion has also completed the first round of its Series F raise for a combined $25m of funding. It was supported by existing investors, BDC Capital and GIC and also included new grant funding from the Government of British Columbia. This builds upon the Canadian government’s ongoing support through the Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF).

The Myrrha project at Belgium's Nuclear Research Centre (SCK-CEN) has achieved an important milestone after researchers succeeded in accelerating a proton beam through the recently connected radio frequency quadrupole (RFQ), SCK-CEN said. The RFQ is a component of the particle accelerator that will drive the sub-critical research reactor.

Russia’s DV Efremov Scientific Research Institute of Electrophysical Apparatus (NIIEFA) has sent a cyclotron to Thailand manufactured for the Institute for Nuclear Research (NRI) in the Thai province of Nakhon Naiok. The equipment, dispatched between 15 and 17 July, for the isochronous cyclotron SS-30/15, comprised nine containers with a total cargo weight of 120 tons. Rusatom Helskea JSC and Kinetics Corporation Ltd are building a cyclotron-radiochemical complex in Thailand commissioned by NRI. The cyclotron SS-30/15 with proton energies up to 30 MeV is a key part of the complex intended for the development of nuclear medicine and scientific research. The shipment was made after the successful completion of the acceptance tests and confirmation of all required characteristics.
