📢 📢 📢 EDF connects Flamanville 3 reactor to grid! Flamanville 3 1,650 MW EPR, France's most powerful nuclear reactor, has finally been connected to the national grid after many years of delays. The #Flamanville 3 project, launched in 2007 with a €3.3 billion budget and 2013 completion target, faced 12 years of delays and cost overruns, culminating in a €13.2 billion total expenditure. #epcprojects #power #nuclearpower #nuclearenergy #EDF

We’re excited to announce a significant update in the project to deliver the complete IT systems for the Hinkley Point C (HPC) nuclear power plant. Telent has completed over half of the designs for the site’s communications and IT systems. This milestone marks the commencement of the first IT installation phase at EDF’s new-generation nuclear power plant in West Somerset. With 70+ high-level building designs completed, this ambitious project will deliver cutting-edge technology, including a dual data centre infrastructure with wireless and wired communication networks connecting around 150 buildings across the dual reactor site. Our designs meet the rigorous standards of the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), ensuring mission-critical reliability in even the most extreme scenarios, such as earthquakes and aeroplane crashes. This is more than just an IT system—it’s a cornerstone of HPC’s ability to provide low-carbon energy for 6 million UK homes over the next 60 years, contributing 7% of the nation’s electricity. This is a proud moment for the entire Telent team, and we’re honoured to contribute to a project of such monumental importance. Here’s to building a brighter, low-carbon future together!

What does New Power Plant Decommissioning Funding mean for Engineers? A recent £30 million investment by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) marks a significant milestone in the UK's commitment to advancing nuclear decommissioning techniques ⚛️ Fostering innovative engineering and technological solutions, the NDA faces the new challenge of dismantling 17 UK nuclear sites. In this video, we explain how nuclear plants are decommissioned, what this new funding will be used for, and what it means for engineers. #EngineeringJobs #NESFircroft #NuclearPower #NetZero

ONTARIO'S MOMENT: Minister says Canada Building Blueprint for Nuclear Energy Future - Read More: https://hubs.la/Q02JZ0050 Ontario is selling itself as the nuclear North Star to guide the direction of American power as the United States looks to de-carbonize amid ever-increasing demand for energy. #energy #ontario #nuclear #power #energynow

The ADVANCE Act represents a promising step forward for #nuclear #energy in the United States, potentially aiding in the reduction of #carbon #emissions and contributing to #sustainability efforts. However, the successful implementation of this policy requires addressing significant risks and challenges. Balancing the benefits of clean, reliable energy against #safety, #waste #management, and economic considerations will be crucial in determining whether nuclear #power can become a cornerstone of #America's clean energy future. As the global nuclear landscape evolves, the #US. must navigate these complexities to establish a leading position in the nuclear energy market and contribute meaningfully to #global climate goals. https://lnkd.in/gVRuBzKd Thermal power plant, nuclear power plant Dukovany cooling tower stock photo.

CORE POWER And Glosten Partner On Floating Nuclear Power Plant For US Ports Read The Full Article:- https://lnkd.in/eX3He_25 Morgan Fanberg, PE, CEO of Glosten said “Glosten’s job is to turn CORE POWER’s vision into a design that demonstrates the practicality of providing reliable, zero-emissions nuclear power to port facilities and has a defined path to regulatory approval.” “Nuclear fission is a well-understood and practiced process. It allows us to access an enormous energy resource safely, reliably, and on-demand without emitting greenhouse gases,” said Mikal Bøe, CEO of CORE POWER.

#Georgia Power’s #Vogtle nuclear power plant’s expansion (units 3 & 4) is now complete with unit 4 coming online 4/29/2024. This is a great achievement for Georgia Power and Westinghouse as approximately 2 million homes around the Augusta, GA area can be powered through low-cost, emission-free generation. Although the expansion should be celebrated, delays (7 years) and cost over-runs ($17B) can’t be ignored. Because of the magnitude of this project and short fallings with project execution, confidence in US nuclear has been damaged and unrealized risks for future projects will have to be assessed before these projects are green-lit. #NuclearPower #VogtlePowerPlant #Georgia #EnergyConsultant #InfinityPowerPartners

𝗘𝗗𝗙 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 by Dimitris Mavrokefalidis; Energy Live News A new agreement aims to use nuclear energy to help decarbonise the Italian stee lindustry Energy giant EDF, the oldest energy company in Europe Edison, power generation company Ansaldo Energia – Ansaldo Nucleare and the Federation of Italian Steel Enterprises (Federacciai) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (#MoU) to explore the use of #nuclearenergy in the Italian #steelindustry. The #agreement focuses on #coinvestment opportunities for building small modular reactors (#SMRs) in #Italy and establishing long term #nuclearenergy supplies through the #Italy-#France interconnector. The #goal is to help #decarbonise steel production and improve industry competitiveness. Xavier Ursat, #EDF Group Senior Executive Vice President in charge of Strategy, Technologies, Innovation and Development, said: “Our aim is clearly to support the relaunch of the #nuclear option in Italy and to strengthen industrial #cooperation between the two #countries in Italy, in France and in #Europe.” Nicola Monti, #Edison Chief Executive Officer said: “Today, Italy imports about 15-20% of its energy from abroad. The #development of a national #supplychain for the #production of new nuclear energy, making the most of the technological advances of recent years and investing in the improvement of local skills, represents a phenomenal #opportunity to achieve not only #decarbonisation targets but also greater #independence and #security for the country’s #energysystem.” The article link is here: https://lnkd.in/dUwMyGpm

Have you ever wondered how a pressure vessel of a reactor is installed? It is 13 meters and 500 tonnes. An even bigger problem is bringing the vessel to the premises, the best option is on the water, which was the case also here. Last week at Hinkley Point C EDF (UK) achieved this success. Congratulations. More nuclear power for Europe! #nuclearpower #energy #engineering #construction #HinkleyPointC #EDF #UK #Europe #pressurevessel #installation #logistics #achievement <<<<<<<<< Follow Denisa Volekova 👩💼🤝👨💼 for more recruiting, energy, motivation, and diversity inspiration.
