The UK's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority has announced a partnership which will see innovative technology deployed for the first time on a nuclear site to remotely and autonomously sort and segregate radioactive waste.

Software development company Palantir Technologies Inc is partnering with The Nuclear Company to develop and deploy an AI-driven, real-time software system that they say will transform the construction of nuclear reactors.

Four European nuclear technology organisations have launched the Eagles Consortium to develop and commercialise the EAGLES-300 next-generation lead-cooled small modular reactor with the aim of delivering a first demonstration by 2035.

Lightbridge's advanced nuclear fuel technology has completed the final design review for its upcoming irradiation experiment at Idaho National Laboratory - and expects to benefit from a groundbreaking testing method developed by the lab.

Orano has begun serial production of ten 30B-10 cylinders designed for the transport of LEU+ - uranium hexafluoride enriched up to 10% uranium-235.

Working with advanced reactor company Kairos Power, nuclear waste disposal technology company Deep Isolation has demonstrated the feasibility and potential commercial readiness of its system for managing used TRISO nuclear fuel.

The deployment of advanced nuclear technologies, such as small modular reactors and advanced modular reactors, presents a promising yet complex horizon as these technologies look to support the transformation of the energy sector, write PA Consulting's Derreck Van Gelderen and Matt Leedham.

General Matter says it will use a novel, scalable, cost-competitive technology to address a "commercial bottleneck" in the US nuclear fuel cycle and will be shipping enriched uranium by the end of the decade.

Under the memorandum of understanding, the partnership will explore the management of used fuel from Deep Fission's advanced underground reactors using Deep Isolation's patented underground disposal technology.
