In the dynamic landscape of nuclear power, mastering Maintenance & Technical (M&T) Fundamentals is essential. For nuclear professionals across disciplines like Maintenance Mechanical, Electrical, I&C, Radiation Protection, Chemistry and Engineering, establishing a solid knowledge foundation is critical. Traditionally, training programs are segmented, following distinct paths per discipline as guided by their respective ACAD. These guidelines […]
The debate on nuclear energy strategies in Africa unfolds amid growing energy demands and the urgent shift towards sustainability. Should Africa invest in large nuclear power plants, the cornerstone of traditional nuclear energy, or pivot to Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)? This analysis explores both paths, considering their benefits, challenges, and the unique African context. Large […]
In a historic achievement for the nuclear energy sector, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced its decision to extend a $1.52 billion nuclear plant loan to Holtec International, setting the stage for the restart of the previously decommissioned Palisades nuclear power plant in Covert Township, MI. This significant financial endorsement not only underscores […]
