Swedish lead-cooled small modular reactor technology developer Blykalla and Norway's Institute of Energy Technology have entered into a strategic collaboration to accelerate the technical development of Blykalla's SEALER reactor.
Norway should build a deep geological landfill for high-level waste and a medium-depth geological repository for low- and intermediate-level waste, a group of experts considering solutions for the disposal of the country's historic radioactive waste have recommended.
A new company, Trondheimsleia Kjernekraft AS, has been founded in partnership between the future host municipalities of Aure and Heim, local energy company NEAS and Norsk Kjernekraft to develop a power plant based on multiple small modular reactors.
The Norwegian government has commissioned several agencies to develop an Environmental Impact Assessment programme for the proposed power plant based on multiple small modular reactors in the municipalities of Aure and Heim.
The Norwegian government has issued Norwegian Nuclear Decommissioning with a licence to own and operate the nuclear fuel and materials testing reactor at Halden, which it will decommission. Until now, the reactor has been owned and operated by the Institute of Energy Technology.
The Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority has given its approval for Norwegian Nuclear Decommissioning to assume responsibility for the nuclear fuel and materials testing reactor at Halden, which is to be decommissioned. It is now up to the government to grant an operating licence.
Swedish lead-cooled small modular reactor technology developer Blykalla and Norwegian nuclear project developer Norsk Kjernekraft have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the deployment of Blykalla's SEALER in Scandinavia.
A new company is being established to further investigate the possibility of establishing a nuclear power plant based on small modular reactors in the municipality of Lund in the southern Norwegian county of Rogaland.
Nuclear project developer Norsk Kjernekraft has signed a letter of intent with Nordic consultancy company Norconsult to promote the development of nuclear power in Norway. The partners said their cooperation could "result in concrete projects".
Technical and strategic nuclear consultancy Equilibrion announced it is to lead a study to explore how deployment of nuclear-enabled hydrogen production could support the repurposing of the UK's existing extensive gas network for low-carbon hydrogen.
