Walking with Michl Binderbauer into his 2-acre laboratory feels a bit like taking a factory tour with Willy Wonka. In one corner Binderbauer, chief executive of TAE Technologies, shows off a new machine that blasts cancer tumors with a neutron beam. Engineers huddle in a control room. Beyond their window: Norman.

That’s the name of TAE’s 100-foot-long prototype nuclear fusion reactor, a magnificent assemblage of stainless steel vessels, electromagnets and particle accelerator tubes. Once every eight minutes Norman emits a clang, as it transforms 100 million watts of electricity into a cloud of 30 million degree Celsius plasma that it blasts with beams of protons (the simplest form of hydrogen).

The European Union will need to continue having a nuclear energy share of at least one-quarter until 2050 to meet the emissions reduction targets it has set for that year, according to a new report from Deloitte.

The EU has set targets of reducing emissions by 40% compared to 1990 levels, and by up to 95% by 2050 – or net zero. An essential part of that plan will be phasing out the burning of coal, the highest-emitting fossil fuel which is still used heavily in countries such as Poland and Germany.

Nearly two years ago China’s “Nimble Dragon” (玲龙) project hit headlines when state-owned China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) announced plans to build a floating small modular reactor (SMR) in the island province of Hainan. Just last month China’s Ministry of Environment began its impact assessment of the ACP100  – the unit’s technical name – bringing the project into its next stage of development. China now joins the United States and Russia in the race for commercially viable SMR technology.

This year Britain has had an exceptional year for renewable electricity production. It has broken 13 different renewable energy records, putting 2017 on track to be the greenest year ever for clean, electricity production. WWF predicts that 2018 will be even greener and will usher in a new era of low carbon electricity.

These records are across the clean electricity sector. Highlights of 2017 included the greenest summer ever, as well the first full day since the Industrial Revolution where there was no coal power, record

breaking level of green power and the plummeting costs of off-shore wind.

The world’s first third-generation “Evolutionary Power Reactor” (EPR) has gone into operation at Taishan in China’s Guangdong province, the French and Chinese developers behind the project announced on Friday.

The 1,750 megawatt EPR, formerly known as the “European Pressurised Reactor” and designed by France’s Areva, completed a 168-hour trial run on Thursday evening, said state-owned China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN). The Taishan nuclear project is 70 percent-owned by CGN, with Electricite de France (EDF) controlling the rest.

It was stated that Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, which will be the third generation of VVER-1200 reactors, will generate electricity as needed by Istanbul.
Will produce as much electricity as the need of Istanbul

Mr. Dönmez stated that the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, which will consist of four units in Mersin, will operate with a total installed capacity of 4800 MW. Ministers can not start, the Akkuyu plant to meet Turkey’s 12.5 percent of the annual electricity needs alone, he said that in Istanbul coincided with an annual electricity consumption.
