France’s Framatome and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to demonstrate the feasibility of producing non-carrier added lutetium-177 (Lu-177) at South Korea’s Wolsong NPP. Framatome and KHNP will jointly perform this technical assessment at the plant using Framatome’s isotope production technology. This has been successfully implemented on a commercial production level at the Bruce Power NPP in Canada.

An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Pre-SALTO (Safety Aspects of Long Term Operation) review mission has completed a review of long term operational safety at unit 1 of the Cernavoda Nuclear NPP at the request of plant’s operator, SN Nuclearelectrica (SNN). Cernavoda 1 went into commercial operation in 1996. It is one of two 700 MWe Candu-6 pressurised heavy water reactors at the NPP. SNN is planning to refurbish the reactor and extend the total operating lifetime to approximately 60 years.
