Netherlands-based AMG Critical Materials has established a new company, NewMOX SAS in Grenoble, France, to service the nuclear fuel market. NewMOX is a subsidiary of ALD Vacuum Technologies based in Hanau, Germany. ALD is AMG’s engineering subsidiary focused on vacuum furnace technology, which includes sintering furnace systems enabling the production of commercial nuclear fuel from plutonium and depleted uranium mixed oxides (mox). ALD’s MOX technology has been applied in Germany, the USA, France, Belgium, the UK and recently ALD has been delivering furnace systems to China. ALD inherited the mox technology from Degussa AG, ALD’s former owner (later renamed Evonik AG).

At unit 8 of China’s Tianwan NPP Rosatom has the lower part of the dome of the internal containment (VZO - Vnutrennei Zatsitnoi Obolochki). The large metal structures were assembled on the ground at a separate stand. The total weight of the structure was 375.5 tonnes. The hermetic shell of the reactor building will now be installed and concreted, and installation of the main equipment – reactor vessel, steam generators, the main circulation pipeline will begin, according to Alexey Bannik Vice President for projects in China at Atomstroyexport (general contractor and part of Rosatom).
