Our Nuclear-enabled Hydrogen Working Group joined together today for a dynamic two-part session: 1) 'Technology Development of AMRs for Hydrogen Production' Presentation from Mark Bankhead, National Nuclear Laboratory 2) Update on Nuclear policy climate from Allan Simpson, Equilibrion NNL's presentation was part of this working group's ongoing knowledge-sharing initiatives, diving into various projects including NNL's strategy to raise the technology readiness level of Advanced Modular Reactors and the multitude of ways that Nuclear can contribute to the evolving energy system including as a reliable, consistent, efficient energy source to produce hydrogen. The Nuclear-enabled Hydrogen Working Group are now preparing to respond to two nuclear-focused DESNZ consultations on Nuclear's Alternative Routes to Market and Approach to Siting. Both consultations will be released in December. If you are interested in convening and working on the latest Nuclear policy with some of the leading Nuclear Hydrogen stakeholders, please contact the HEA for more details on how to get involved - https://lnkd.in/gjgSCdMp

In terms of nuclear advancements, one name stands out: Magnox reactors. ⚛️ Did you know that this pioneering technology, operational since the 1950s, marked a seismic shift in energy generation? Here's a few bits about it's impactful journey: ☢ Fact: The Magnox reactor, active since the 1950s, proudly holds the title of the world's first commercial nuclear power plant. Nestled at Calder Hall in the UK, its legacy extends beyond powering homes—it laid the groundwork for subsequent nuclear power innovations. 🌍 Global Influence: Calder Hall's Magnox reactor wasn't just a power source; it was a trailblazer that set the stage for the worldwide adoption of nuclear energy. Its success not only illuminated homes but also illuminated the vast potential of nuclear technology. 💡 Innovation: Magnox wasn't merely a reactor; it was an symbol of innovation. Its pioneering spirit became a cornerstone for the development of subsequent generations of nuclear power plants, influencing the trajectory of clean energy on a global scale. 🌟 #NuclearHistory #Magnox #Innovation #CleanEnergy

Fincantieri and RINA have signed an agreement on nuclear propulsion research with Newcleo, a British/Italian startup focused on small lead-cooled fast reactors. The agreement covers a feasibility study on integration of Newcleo's technology in a merchant ship application. The company's modular, closed reactors would provide 30 MW of output with reactor replacement every 10-15 years, with low maintenance between replacements. Newcleo has raised more than $440 million so far to support its R&D, and it launched a $1.1 billion fundraising round in March. It is led by some of the most prominent nuclear physicists in the field, including Chief Scientific Officer Luciano Cinotti. Cinotti served as chairman of the Lead Fast Reactor Steering Committee of the Generation-IV International Forum on next-gen reactor technology, and he is the author of most of the world’s lead fast reactor-related patents. The company was founded by a nuclear physicist and entrepreneur, CERN veteran and Elysia Capital founder Stefano Buono. According to the consortium, nuclear power could provide a viable option for resolving the thorny question of decarbonization. IMO's net-zero by midcentury target will be difficult and costly to meet with current technologies and fuel supply chains, but nuclear power might be able to help. #marine #propulsion #decarbonization #nuclearenergy https://lnkd.in/gJidkh2d
