Exactly one year after construction began, China has produced its first barrel of natural uranium from its largest domestic project - the National Uranium No.1 demonstration project - in Ordos in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

The inner containment dome has been installed at unit 6 of the Lufeng nuclear power plant in China's Guangdong province. It is the first of two HPR1000 (Hualong One) units under construction at the site, where four CAP1000s are also planned.

Although China has made significant progress in further strengthening its regulation of nuclear safety, the staffing levels of the country's regulatory body must keep up with China's fast-growing nuclear industry, an International Atomic Energy Agency team of experts said.

Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy and China General Nuclear Power Group have signed a letter of intent to cooperate on energy transition efforts, sustainability "and the peaceful and sustainable use of nuclear mineral resources in Brazil".

The concreting of the outer dome of the containment building has been completed at unit 3 of the Changjiang nuclear power plant in China's Hainan province.

The reactor internals have been successfully hoisted into position at unit 4 of the Haiyang nuclear power plant in China's Shandong province.

Tests that simulate the temperatures and pressures which the reactor systems will be subjected to during normal operation have been completed at unit 1 of the San'ao nuclear power plant in China's Zhejiang province. The unit is the first of six HPR1000s (Hualong Ones) planned at the site.

The first safety-related concrete has been poured for the reactor building of unit 3 at the Taipingling nuclear power plant in Guangdong province. It is the third of six HPR1000 (Hualong One) units planned for the site.

The 80-tonne tank, which has a capacity of 60 cubic metres, was produced at the Petrozavodskmash plant of Rosatom's machine-building division with the ceremonial shipment marking the plant's 65th anniversary.
