Innovative reactor developer Newcleo and Slovak state-owned radioactive waste management company JAVYS have signed a joint venture shareholder agreement, paving the way toward the construction of up to four Newcleo lead-cooled fast reactors at the Bohunice site.

Slovenské elektrárne has launched the hot hydro testing of Mochovce unit 4, following the completion of cold hydro tests.

Slovenské elektrárne has outlined details of a scheme to deliver heat for the town of Tlmače from the Mochovce nuclear power plant.

France-based Newcleo has signed framework agreements with Slovakian companies JAVYS and VUJE  which could lead to up to four of its 200 MWe lead-cooled fast reactors at the Bohunice site.

The second stage of cold hydro testing of the primary circuit has begun at Mochovce nuclear power plant's unit 4 in Slovakia.

Slovenské elektrárne says that the Mochovce 4 nuclear unit has passed tests of its active and passive emergency safety systems.

Slovakia has been awarded a grant from the USA's Nuclear Expediting the Energy Transition (NEXT) project for help in selecting a site for the construction of small modular reactors in the country.

UK-headquartered innovative reactor developer Newcleo and Slovak nuclear engineering and services firm VUJE have signed a cooperation agreement to establish closer collaboration on developing advanced modular reactor technologies and advanced fuel cycle solutions in the Slovak Republic.

Slovak utility Slovenské elektrárne has signed a contract with France's Framatome for the long-term supply of nuclear fuel to the VVER-440 reactors at its Bohunice and Mochovce plants, starting from 2027.
