Innovation] ABS introduces shipping's first nuclear-ready notation
- The American Bureau of Shipping launched the maritime industry's first "Nuclear-Ready Notation" to guide the design of commercial vessels for future conversion to nuclear propulsion.
- This framework responds to the expanding commercial interest in using SMRs to decarbonize heavy shipping and logistics networks effectively.
- It evaluates crucial aspects such as structural configurations, shielding requirements, and safety interfaces between the reactor systems and the vessel body from the initial engineering stages.
World's Largest Crane Lifts RPV Into Place At Hinkley Point C-2
- The 500-tonne reactor pressure vessel has been successfully installed within the reactor building of Unit 2 at the Hinkley Point C nuclear power plant in England.
- Unlike Unit 1, which used a temporary overhead gantry system, this installation utilized "Big Carl," the world's largest land-based crane, to lower the vessel through an equipment hatch.
- This tactical shift represents a major construction innovation, allowing the second EPR unit's civil engineering and internal work to progress significantly faster.
Launching into tomorrow: NRIC guides new era of research and deployment
- The National Reactor Innovation Center at INL is streamlining the deployment of next-generation advanced nuclear reactors through key pilot test programs.
- By collaborating closely with private sector developers, NRIC provides the critical infrastructure and regulatory pathways necessary to test first-of-a-kind microreactors and small modular systems safely.
- The aim to bridge the gap between initial design concepts and commercial energy market readiness by offering specialized, real-world testing environments.
