DOE ADRP Awards $30 Million for Risk Reduction Projects
Today,
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $30 million in initial
funding for one of three programs under its new Advanced Reactor
Demonstration Program (ARDP). DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy has
selected five teams to receive $30 million in FY20 funding for Risk
Reduction for future demonstration projects. The awards are cost-shared
partnerships with industry, and companies were chosen through a funding
opportunity announcement issued in May 2020.
The goal of the Risk Reduction
program is to design and develop safe and affordable reactor
technologies that can be licensed and deployed over the next 10 to 14
years. For further info. on the Risk Reduction program and the DOE award

Exelon Submits Feasibility Study For SMR Deployment :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency
Exelon Submits Feasibility Study For SMR Deployment :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: US energy company Exelon Generation has prepared a deployment feasibility study for the potential construction of a fleet of GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy BWRX-300 small modular reactors in Poland.
The study has been carried out for Synthos Green Energy and will help the Synthos Group estimate how many units need to be built to take advantage of the cost effect of serial production of SMRs.
The study covers the analysis of key aspects of SMR technology implementation from cost issues, personnel policy, regulatory and security issues to construction models and operational issues.

Hydrogen policies must include nuclear, says NNWI : Energy & Environment - World Nuclear News
Hydrogen policies must include nuclear, says NNWI : Energy & Environment - World Nuclear News: Nuclear-produced hydrogen, using electrolyser technology, could have a "sizeable contribution" to make in the development of the hydrogen economy, according to a new report from the New Nuclear Watch Institute think-tank. However, it says the realisation of those benefits will depend on the adoption of technology-neutral policies, which do not discriminate against nuclear power.
