U.S. DOE is considering billions in financing to help utilities secure long lead components for large nuclear reactors.

Key take away is reactor vessels and steam generators can take years to obtain. If you want new AP1000s, you buy the hard parts before the political theater cools.

Romania’s Nuclear Power Plant Cernavodă, Unit 1, the refurbishment just moved from paperwork into pouring concrete. Nuclearelectrica says it completed the first continuous concrete pour for permanent structures tied to the NPP. Roughly 3,470 m³ of concrete and 380 mixer trucks.

This supports the NPP Unit 1’s planned long term operation extension.

A bipartisan U.S. bill aims to cut nuclear construction costs by letting commercial grade concrete and steel be used in non safety related nuclear plant structures.

Not a reactor approval. Not construction. BUT it targets one of nuclear’s biggest killers which is cost and build time. If passed, of course.
