Huge congrats to the @AntaresNuclear team, and to the many others who worked tirelessly to make this kind of thing possible again. First new criticality at INL since LOFT 53 years ago!?!? Incredible!

N2E machine. While the US is innovating SMR/MMRs fast to the July 4 deadline, the Chinese maybe waiting on the sidelines to speedily prototype and deploy at scale possibly before it gets finished by the US. AFRICA is at the crossroads. Kudos to @AntaresNuclear for the lead!

Makes it an easy testbed for floating SMRs
Incredible! 7/10 ships built in the world in 2025 was built in China! The rest: mostly by South Korea and Japan. The rest of the world is practically a rounding error

An IAEA team of international experts has found that El Salvador has made notable progress in establishing the framework needed to support an informed decision on the introduction of nuclear power. Read more: atoms.iaea.org/4tKbIzI

Wyoming workers & producers power our grid and strengthen national security. Advanced manufacturing, Bitcoin mining, AI all demand reliable baseload power. The U.S. needs more generation, more infrastructure, and a broad energy strategy. Nuclear must be part of that future.

Togo 🇹🇬 has removed visa requirements for all African nationals. Travelers with a valid African passport can now visit visa-free for up to 30 days. Visitors may still need to complete a simple online travel declaration at least 24 hours before arrival. The move strengthens regional integration and makes Togo the sixth African country to allow visa-free access for all Africans.

In his speech, Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of @iaeaorg said that for years, finance was a red line separating Africa from the benefits of nuclear energy. Today, that wall is coming down as nuclear projects become bankable and doors of international financing open up.

Are you attending @NEISAfrica this week? Don’t miss an IAEA session on SMR Deployment Readiness! SMRs are a compelling solution for many African countries as they are more suitable for use in small electricity grids and have a lower upfront capital cost per unit and shorter construction times. This session will provide a comprehensive overview of the global SMR landscape and Africa’s readiness to harness this innovation. The session is open to all participants and will be held in the Main Auditorium. ℹ️For more information visit: neisafrica.org/#program #NEISA2026

#NIESA2026 Nuclear Energy Innovation Summit for Africa. Kigali, Rwanda 2026. Let’s do this Africa 🔋⚡️ cc: @NEISAfrica @PaulKagame @CN_Nuclear_Corp Quite an interesting note from the CNNC VP. From his account, China 🇨🇳 is deeply involved in nuclear for Africa

On April 24, the expansion project of nuclear heating at Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant officially started. Nuclear energy is not only used for power generation, but also directly benefits people’s livelihoods. Upon completion, it will strongly guarantee a safe and stable heating supply for residents in Haiyan County, enabling more people to enjoy the warmth brought by clean nuclear energy. With a designed heating capacity of 52.5 MW in its first phase, the project will operate in tandem with the existing primary heating station after completion, delivering a marked increase in overall heating capacity and fully meeting the projected heat load demand by the end of 2030.

Another Organic moderated reactor experiment film! Cooling/moderating reactors with organic fluids (wax, oil) is a pretty interesting idea with a rich history. "Fuel element removal and second core loading" from July 1959 Digitized by the IAEA

As requested by @Nafis_Fuad_ here the general #PWR development path of @CN_Nuclear_Corp and @CGN_Group up to #Hualong One. This only includes PWR's of those companies that are power reactors and no heating reactors and no other types. For the Hualong One series, most basic differences are described in this graphic. In case I write about the CGN Hualong One 1.0 R0.0 again, when Taipingling-2 will start up soon, you will now know what I mean. 😉 Green: Main development path (ongoing) Yellow: Sub version developments (ongoing) Blue: Unfinished developments (no further development) Boxes: 1. Year of introduction 2. Name/Version 3. (Alternate name/other use) 4. Power or company 5. First usage (or planned usage) The original graph is in german. I hope everything is translated to english. If not, give me a short notice!

Nuclear power plants just coming online like clockwork from China. According to the 15th Five Year Plan they want to achieve 110GW in nuclear by 2030, up from around 66GW now. It’s a hugely ambitious buildout. If they achieve it, it means that China would be connecting more reactors to the grid from now to 2030 than all the rest of the world combined. EVEN SO I think nuclear in China is still sandbagged. They haven’t quite regained their pre-Fukushima ambitions to build inland reactors for example.
Unit 2 of the Taipingling nuclear power project in south China's Guangdong Province completed its initial fuel loading on Sunday. Using "Hualong One," a domestically developed third-generation nuclear power technology, the unit has transitioned to the nuclear commissioning phase. The Taipingling nuclear power project is designed with six Hualong One units, which can generate over 55 billion kWh of electricity a year, equivalent of cutting 50.82 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Sighting amazing Joe Mwangi, Kip, Nduma, my running/gym bro and KINGS Alumni… lets brings this NPP to motherland, let the rest be history 👍
Replying to @nuclearkenya
The Republic of Korea, through its institutions and industry players, has been instrumental in the training and capacity building of the majority of nuclear experts currently serving within NuPEA and the broader Kenyan energy sector.
