European SMR Consortium Signs Agreement With Three Regulators To Begin Pre-Licensing Initiative
- In a first-of-its-kind initiative, the Eagles consortium, made up of four European nuclear technology companies, has partnered with three European regulators to begin the pre-licensing process for the Eagles-300, a next-generation lead-cooled Small Modular Reactor (SMR).
- This project aims to standardize and harmonize the SMR's safety and regulatory requirements internationally, paving the way for its global commercialization by 2039.
- The Generation IV reactor is designed to be highly safe and efficient, with a modular design and the ability to produce electricity, industrial heat, and hydrogen, offering a reliable and sustainable energy solution.

Aecon to assist in Estonian deployment of BWRX-300
- Estonian energy company Fermi Energia has signed a teaming agreement with Canadian construction firm Aecon to help deploy a BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) in Estonia.
- Drawing on its experience from the first such SMR project in a G7 country, Aecon will provide its nuclear construction expertise to assist with pre-construction planning and team development.
- This partnership aims to have the first SMR in Estonia operational by 2035, marking a significant step toward the country's energy transition.
상반기 출력제어 164GW…깊어지는 추석연휴 정전 위기
- 최근 한국은 태양광 발전량 급증으로 전력 공급이 수요를 초과하면서 발전소 출력을 강제로줄이는 출력 제어가 지난해보다 12배 이상 급증했다.
- 이에 따라 전력 당국은 전례 없이 긴 추석 연휴를 앞두고 비상체제에 돌입했으며, 이는 과거제주도에 국한되던 문제가 육지로 확산된 결과다.
- 전문가들은 재생에너지 비중이 높은 스페인에서 발생했던 대규모 정전 사태가 한국에서도 일어날 수 있다고 경고하며 전력망 불안정 심화에 대한 우려를 표하고 있다.
