Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (MHI) has held a ceremony at its Kobe works in Japan to mark completion of three of the nine replacement steam generators ordered by EDF. MHI was selected to supply the steam generators through an international bidding process and won the order jointly with long-standing collaborator Onet Technologies of Marseilles, which provides specialised after-sales service and maintenance for NPP facilities. MHI has been collaborating with Onet since 2002.

Researchers at Russia’s NRNU MEPhI (National Research University - Moscow Power Engineering Institute) are investigating the accumulation of helium and deuterium in promising "smart" W-Cr-Y alloys for use in thermonuclear reactors. The results of the study were published in the Journal of Nuclear Materials. The interaction of plasma with the inner wall of a fusion reactor are a major obstacle to achieving fusion energy, explained Zori Arutyunyan, Candidate of Physical & Mathematical Sciences, and Junior Researcher at MEPhI’s Department of Plasma Physics.

Rosatom fuel company TVEL and the Troitsk Institute of Innovative & Thermonuclear Research (TRINITI) have developed a technology to decontaminate radiation-contaminated metal equipment using ozone baths. TVEL says it is much more efficient than foreign counterparts, and makes it possible to significantly reduce time needed to treat secondary liquid radwaste.
