Days after Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced it would participate in a consortium to develop floating nuclear power plants, the owner and operator of South Korea’s 25 nuclear power plants joined forces with TerraPower to bolster the demonstration and commercialization of Natrium, TerraPower’s sodium-cooled fast reactor integrated energy system. The deals were announced […]

It’s not uncommon for nuclear power plants to be sited relatively close to large metropolitan areas (within 50 miles, for example), after all, that is where the biggest loads are, but reactors are rarely placed near the center of large cities. This is mainly due to the risks associated with a meltdown, or even a […]

Few power-generating resources present the combination of workhouse abilities that combined heat and power (CHP) does. But, powered predominantly by fossil fuels, will CHP find its unique footing within the

As part of modernization of the Kazakhstan power infrastructure, Aksa Energy will build a new combined heat and power (CHP) plant to provide flexible, reliable, efficient, and sustainable heat and power for the Kyzylorda region The new 240-megawatt (MW) CHP plant, expected to be commissioned in 2025, will be powered by two GE’s 6F.03 gas […]
