U.K.: EDF says Big Carl, the world’s largest crane, lifted Hinkley Point C’s second nuclear reactor into place ahead of precision installation inside Unit 2. EDF says repeat build efficiencies mean Unit 2 is progressing 20 to 30% faster than Unit 1 at comparable stages.

UPDATE: Uzbekistan is laying out the structure behind its integrated nuclear power plant project. Two 55 MW small units plus two 1,000 MW large units at one site, with an estimated total project cost of $9.5B. UzA says 85 to 90% of financing is expected from external credit resources, with talks planned involving the BRICS New Development Bank. Localization is targeted at 30%, and the project is being framed as a long term industrial, energy Security, and technology transfer play.

Also notable: Uzbekistan says the plant will use dry cooling towers to reduce water demand, a key detail given regional water stress.
