Fuel assembly replacement launched at Unit 2 of Beznau Nuclear Power Plant
Swiss energy company Axpo launched fuel assembly replacement work at Unit 2 of the Beznau Nuclear Power Plant (KKB) on August 4, with the related outage expected to last approximately two weeks. As planned, plant technicians will replace 20 of the 121 fuel assemblies in the reactor core during the outage, while also carrying out routine inspections and system tests. More than 560 employees of the Beznau Nuclear Power Plant will be involved in the related work, supported by approximately 150 external experts on site. The fuel assembly replacement and related operations are supervised by the Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate (ENSI). Previously, the relevant units at the Beznau Nuclear Power Plant had been shut down due to elevated water temperatures in the Aare River. According to available information,...

IsoEnergy Ltd. and DISA Technologies, Inc. have entered into a definitive agreement to jointly establish DISA Uranium™ Corporation, building a technology-driven U.S. uranium production, processing, and remediation platform. The platform will combine conventional uranium mining assets, uranium recovery operations, and DISA's proprietary High-Pressure Slurry Ablation processing technology (HPSA™) to serve U.S. domestic nuclear fuel supply needs. Under the agreement, IsoEnergy will transfer its portfolio of licensed and previously producing uranium mine projects located in Utah, U.S., to DISA Uranium, including the Tony M Mine, Daneros Mine, Rim Mine, Sage Plain Project, and Flatir...

Key progress has been made in the construction of the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) in Beijing Huairou Science City. The latest tests show that the facility's brightness and storage ring beam orbit stability have both met design requirements, bringing it one step closer to full operation. These two indicators directly determine whether the light source can provide stable, high-quality X-ray beams for scientific users, and are also core parameters in facility performance evaluation. Since the accelerator met acceptance indicators on September 29, 2025, the project team has continuously calibrated equipment and optimized beam conditions during trial operation. After approximately nine months of improvements, the facility's key performance has been significantly enhanced. The storage ring can be understood as a circular track for high-energy electrons, with a total circumference of approximately 1,360 meters. 177...

Samsung Electronics' medical device business and Samsung Medison continue to shift their business focus from medical diagnostics to treatment. On August 5, Samsung HME America and U.S. radiosurgery company Accuray announced the signing of a non-binding letter of intent to explore collaboration on volume imaging-based precision radiation therapy solutions. Under the letter of intent, the two parties plan to study the integration of Samsung's mobile CT scanner BodyTom with Accuray's robotic radiosurgery platform CyberKnife. This collaboration direction aims to connect high-resolution 3D imaging capabilities with image-guided robotic radiosurgery technology, enabling medical staff to more accurately identify...

Poland's uranium exploration has recently yielded results, with Świętokrzyska Grupa Przemysłowa Industria announcing the conclusion of uranium exploration near Kielce. Although reports two years ago suggested a breakthrough uranium discovery that could potentially bring Poland into the nuclear fuel supply sector, subsequent studies revealed that uranium concentrations in the area are extremely low, close to natural background levels and far below the threshold for economically viable extraction. Laboratory analysis results indicated that uranium and thorium concentrations in the ore are too low for commercial mining, leading the company to terminate further exploration. According to data from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the world's major...

To explore avenues for cooperation in Tunisia around non-destructive testing (NDT) and industrial applications of nuclear technology, the Technical Center for Mechanical and Electrical Industries (CETIME) hosted a joint delegation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the National Center for Nuclear Science and Technology (CNSTN). This meeting was part of an initiative launched by these two organizations aimed at raising awareness and understanding of these technologies among institutions that use radioactive tracers and sources for industrial applications. The two sides focused on CETIME's work in non-destructive testing using radioactive sources, as well as joint projects aimed at advancing nuclear and radiation technologies applied to industry, non-destructive testing, and the enhancement of industrial quality. Through this...

Eagle Nuclear claims to have discovered the largest uranium deposit in the United States, located at the border of Oregon and Nevada. The company states that it holds an interest in the Aurora Project, which is the largest conventional uranium deposit in the U.S. classified under measured and indicated standards. The deposit currently contains 32.75 million pounds of indicated resources and 4.98 million pounds of inferred resources, compliant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) S-K 1300 standards. Eagle Nuclear is submitting permit applications for drilling plans to federal and state regulators, targeting completion of a feasibility study in the second half of 2027. Following its recent public market listing, the company has strengthened its technical team, adding the Yukuskokon Professional Services advisory team, and expanded its existing agreements with BBA USA and SLR International.
