VTT to develop SMR for district heating VTT Technical Research Center in Finland has already begun the first phase of a project to develop a small modular reactor (SMR) for district heat production in Finland. This project also creates the opportunity to develop a new Finnish industrial sector around the SMR technology and the production…
Remix fuel is being tested by Rosenergoatom Rosenergoatom is testing the Remix fuel at Balakovo-3 nuclear plant, operated by Rosatom’s subsidiary. Remix (regenerated mixture) fuel is a combination of mixed-oxide (Mox) fuel and fuel with a mix of fresh and recycled uranium. It allows to save around 22% of the natural uranium, the developers estimate. The…
Irradiated Vaccines for Animal Health and Food Security Irradiation is a safe and reliable solution for many problems, related to agriculture, food, animal and human health. Vaccines, in animals just like in people, activate an immunological response that helps the body prepare to fight off a future disease. Some vaccinations use live microorganisms, and radiations…
