In southeastern Ukraine lies the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station. Captured by Moscow soon after its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the plant has frequently been caught in the crossfire, becoming a continual source of worry for international observers. Some have even warned of nuclear disaster, similar to Chernobyl. The latest concerning incident saw a drone hit the plant in April, with both sides exchanging blame. Firing kamikaze drones at Zaporizhzhia is "a no-brainer", former International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief nuclear inspector Robert E. Kelley tells Euronews. He adds "there's rea...

Ukraine's nuclear energy agency Energoatom has started building reactor units 5 and 6 at the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant using U.S. technology that would help prevent power outages in case of Russian attacks, Energoatom's press service said on April 15. Amid Russia's large-scale missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's energy system, Kyiv seeks to protect its critical infrastructure facilities. Ukraine also aims to secure additional power-generating capacity as the country's largest nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia Oblast has remained under Russian occupation since March 2022. After the ...

Korea’s “artificial sun” broke its own record during a plasma operation in which temperatures of 100 million degrees Celsius were supported for 48 seconds, a promising new step toward nuclear fusion. The Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research or KSTAR had previously set a record of reaching 100 million degree plasma for 30 seconds in 2021, the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE) said in a statement. Nuclear fusion happens when two light atoms’ nuclei merge to form a single heavier one, generating a huge release of energy. This phenomenon powers stars, including the sun, which is wh...

French President Emmanuel Macron and Brazilian Lula da Silva will launch a diesel-powered submarine built in Brazil with French technology at the Itaguai shipyard outside Rio de Janeiro. This is the third submarine delivered by Paris to Brasilia. It is part of a Prosub program launched by former French president Nicolas Sarkozy and Da Silva in 2008. Macron is the first French president to visit Brazil in 11 years. The officials are meeting this week to revive the relationship between the countries after years of frictions with former President Jair Bolsonaro. Macron and Da Silva also announced...

France’s Emmanuel Macron is among some dozen EU government leaders who have called for international cooperation to boost investment in atomic power but green groups dismiss their assertion that it is an essential climate tool to halt global temperature rise. Belgian prime minister Alexander De Croo attracted a raft of world leaders to a nuclear energy summit in the shadow of the iconic Atomium building in Brussels, to support his call for a renewed push for nuclear infrastructure deployment. Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Finland, Hungary, the Netherlands, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia and...

France is this month supposed finally to load in fuel its third-generation nuclear reactor, known as EPR, and a connexion to the grid is expected later this year. Europe's top nuclear energy producer is 12 years behind schedule - a delay that pushes some to doubt the EPR will become operational this year. Nonetheless, France is ramping up its nuclear energy production - something that seemed unthinkable less than a decade ago, due to changeable political views on the matter.

The chief of the UN's atomic watchdog is visiting Russia to discuss international concern sabout the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which remains caught up in the war between Russia and Ukraine. The plant, Europe's largest nuclear facility, has been caught in the crossfire since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in 2022, seizing the facility shortly after they stormed the country. Its six reactors are currently shut down. Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told Russia Today that he and Putin discussed the possibility of restarting the plant and whether it will be necessar...

Wildfires swept across the Texas Panhandle early on Wednesday, causing evacuations, power outages and the shutdown of a nuclear weapons facility. Strong winds, dry grass and unseasonably warm temperatures continue to feed the blazes, which show no sign of stopping. An unknown number of homes and other buildings in Hutchinson County were damaged or destroyed, local emergency officials said. The main facility that assembles and disassembles America's nuclear arsenal shut down its operations Tuesday night. "We have evacuated our personnel, non-essential personnel from the site, just in an abundan...
