The land identified as the potential location for the plant is owned by Store Bjørnstad AS and the agreement covers an area of ​​up to 600 acres (243 hectares) The next phase of the project will involve detailed studies of all aspects of the proposed location traffic and outdoor recreation considerations which is located on the south side of the outlet of the Haldenvassdraget to Femsjøen stands out as a good fit," said Håvard Kristiansen "We have considered many alternative locations before we decided to investigate this location further Now we will work closely with the local population to explain what the ongoing investigations include and what a nuclear power plant could potentially entail We will investigate the area thoroughly to see if we can move forward." space is being set aside for the same type of radioactive waste storage facility as in Finland and Sweden which can handle the waste from future nuclear power plants in Norway as well as the existing waste from the decommissioned research reactors at Kjeller and in Halden "This is an important milestone for the development of nuclear power in Norway," said Norsk Kjernekraft CEO Jonny Hesthammer "Not only are we launching a location for a nuclear power plant that can ensure security of supply in Eastern Norway we have also identified a place where we can manage the waste." US-based engineering company Amentum and Norwegian consulting firm Multiconsult Norge AS were appointed by Halden Kjernekraft to evaluate the potential for constructing an SMR at Halden The two companies will carry out an assessment of potential suppliers of equipment and services within Norway and from abroad as well as reporting on technical standards environmental impact and other key aspects of any construction programme At the time of the launch of Halden Kjernekraft the partners noted there was currently a power deficit in the Oslo Akershus and Østfold region of 16 TWh Norwegian grid operator Statnett has warned that there is no available capacity for new larger consumption without new production and increased network capacity into eastern Norway This is not expected until 2035 under current plans and has major consequences for Østfold "The location midway between Oslo and Gothenburg makes Halden a very attractive area for data centres that supply users of artificial intelligence because such data centres must be located close to the users," Hesthammer said "A ripple effect analysis from Menon Economics has shown that such a data centre could create several hundred jobs in Halden in addition to the jobs at the power plant itself."  own and operate SMR power plants in Norway in collaboration with power-intensive industry It says it will prepare licence applications in accordance with national regulations and international standards It will follow the International Atomic Energy Agency's approach for milestones and focus on what creates value in the early phase Financing will take place in collaboration with capital-strong industry and solid financial players The company said it plans to soon submit the project to Norway's Ministry of Energy together with a proposal for an assessment programme Halden is the fourth possible location for a nuclear power plant that Norsk Kjernekraft has announced it submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Energy for an assessment of the construction of a power plant based on multiple SMRs in the municipality of Øygarden That proposal followed proposals submitted for SMR power plants in Aure and Heim

Norway since 1958 and is the oldest NEA joint project It brings together a large international technical network in the area of nuclear safety ranging from fuel safety and operational margins in commercial reactors including fuel and cladding performance and behaviour both at normal operation and transient conditions with emphasis on extended fuel utilisation ageing and degradation of BWR and PWR reactor core materials under the combined effects of water chemistry and nuclear environment and plant control/monitoring and human factors The project programme of work is updated every three years and the current mandate is from January 2024 to December 2026 (extension to complete the programme of work) Since January 2021, the project has been split into two separate projects: one addressing the nuclear fuels and material thematic area, and one addressing the human, technology and organisation (HTO) area The Halden fuel and materials project is currently supported by around 80 research regulation and industry organisations in 17 countries investigations in the fuel and material area were built around in-pile experiments at the Halden boiling water reactor and complementary out of pile investigations Numerous valuable experiments have been performed in the frame of the Halden Reactor Project and have led to an improved understanding of the behaviour of nuclear fuels and materials in various conditions for the entire nuclear community Halden tests data have also been extensively used in the validation of fuel performance codes and LOCA transient analysis codes with a number of completed international benchmarks under IAEA and NEA auspices:  In June 2018, technical and financial challenges led to the decision by the board of directors of IFE to permanently close the Halden Reactor. The reactor was regarded in many countries as a strategic asset for testing fuel and components for commercial reactors. To sustain and develop such in-reactor testing capacities, the NEA has implemented the FIDES II (Second Framework for Irradiation Experiments) framework A revised nuclear fuels and materials work programme was developed for the 2018-2020 period which was continued for the 2021-2023 period The work programme focuses on post‑irradiation examinations (PIE) and LOCA experiments in hot-cells This programme aims at completing experimental investigations in the above areas Some investigations are still pending in 2025 due to delays in transports of material to Studsvik It is expected that the programme of work will be completed at the end of 2026.   Another important aspect of this work programme was the compilation and preservation of the Halden fuel and material legacy data as well as the development of an experimental database This substantial effort for the project data preservation was completed by IFE at the end of 2023 and the legacy database was released to the project members and the NEA in 2024 The NEA is now offering the possibility of access to the Halden legacy data base for NEA members The 2024-2026 programme aims at closing the Halden fuel and material project with the completion of PIE and LOCA testing at Studsvik and the development of synthesis reports in the following topical areas: Some activities are also planned to complete the legacy data base with adding latest reports and reports produced in the HTO area until 2021. A new version of the legacy data base will be released at the end of 2026 at the closure of the project. In 2024, IFE is organising a final conference for the project The OECD Halden Reactor Project’s (HRP) final conference, Celebrating 65 years of safety research Some of the data sets from the Halden project are accessible to NEA members upon request at International Fuel Performance Experiments (IFPE) database The full legacy database is now accessible to NEA members through the NEA Data Bank at the HRP Legacy Database.  the United States and the European Commission Current mandate: January 2025 - December 2026 Library funding is under threat.

In December 2022, NND applied for a licence to own and operate two Norwegian nuclear facilities in Halden and Kjeller as well the waste landfill for low- and intermediate-level radioactive material in Himdalen The current licence holder is the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) Institute for Energy Technology (IFE – Institutt for energiteknikk) Norway’s two research reactors – the nuclear fuel and materials testing reactor at Halden and the JEEP-II neutron scattering facility at Kjeller – were permanently shut down by IFE in June 2018 and April 2019 NND has applied to take over

"Multiconsult has extensive knowledge of the Norwegian supplier industry and the energy sector while Amentum has rich experience from the establishment of both small modular reactors and larger nuclear power plants in Europe and the UK." Halden Kjernekraft - 20% owned by Halden municipality with Norsk Kjernekraft and Østfold Energi owning 40% each - was set up in November last year to investigate the construction of a nuclear power plant using SMR technology which has more than 60 years of experience of hosting the Institute for Energy Technology's nuclear fuel and materials testing reactor Amentum and Multiconsult are currently carrying out engineering concept design and planning work for the decommissioning of the nuclear fuel and materials testing reactor in Halden Norsk Kjernekraft submitted a proposal to Norway's Ministry of Energy for an assessment of the construction of a power plant based on multiple SMRs in the municipality of Øygarden The Halden Reactor Project (HRP) co-ordinated by the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) in Norway has been in operation since 1958 and is the oldest NEA joint project To celebrate the achievements from the past  65 years the Enlarged Halden Programme Group (EHPG) meeting brought together 80 participants from 16 countries to Loen In his welcoming address NEA Director-General William D IV highlighted the accomplishments of the project and the importance of its legacy “Looking back at this very impressive history it is very difficult to overstate how important the Halden Reactor Project has been to the world It has served as a platform for co-operation for so many years,” said Director-General Magwood “I am convinced that the Halden Reactor Project will continue to contribute because of the tremendous historical database provided by the project which will be referenced for decades to come and will continue to improve safety and performance of fuels and materials.” Head of the Nuclear Safety Technology and Regulation Division of the NEA discussed the long-term research needs in order to ensure a safe and sustainable nuclear energy future highlighting the invaluable contributions made by the HRP and other NEA initiatives to support member countries in the safe development of their nuclear projects The event was also the occasion to review in detail the knowledge gained from the project for fuel performance and safety and for human technology and organisation as well as the impact on safety analyses methods and tools Future developments using the legacy database and the Halden materials library were also discussed materials and human‐technology‐organisation featured more than 40 presentations from project members The Halden Reactor Project convenes two EHPG meetings during each three-year programme period These meetings provide a forum for reporting and discussing the Halden Project's research results complemented by presentations of related activities carried out at participating organisations As the HRP is now in its final three-year period from 2024-2026 press@oecd-nea.org The Norwegian government has issued Norwegian Nuclear Decommissioning with a licence to own and operate the nuclear fuel and materials testing reactor at Halden the reactor has been owned and operated by the Institute of Energy Technology Established as an agency under the Ministry of Trade Norwegian Nuclear Decommissioning (NND) is responsible for decommissioning the research reactors and other related nuclear infrastructure NND submitted an application in December 2022 for a licence to own and operate the two Norwegian nuclear facilities in Halden and Kjeller as well as the operation of the waste landfill for low- and intermediate-level radioactive material in Himdalen Norway's two research reactors - the nuclear fuel and materials testing reactor at Halden and the JEEP-II neutron scattering facility at Kjeller - were declared permanently shut down by IFE in June 2018 and April 2019 The transfer of the licence for Halden from IFE to NND was approved earlier this month by the Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority The government has now granted the licence which is valid from 1 April for an unlimited period "but with the possibility of revocation" "The licence includes the right to own possess and place nuclear material," the government noted "The licence also includes the right to trade nuclear material but only to the extent necessary to return irradiated fuel to the client or owner in accordance with return agreements previously entered into by IFE or that will be entered into by NND in the future The licence does not include the right to export nuclear material out of the country .. NND may apply for a permit for this." The Halden reactor - which started up in 1959 - ran at a maximum power of 25 MWt and contained numerous test positions The project was a joint undertaking of national organisations in 19 countries sponsoring a jointly financed programme under the auspices of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency The programme was financed by the participating countries and was renewed every three years Norway covered about 30% of the programme cost IFE announced it would not apply to extend the reactor's operating licence which was offline due to a safety valve failure "This is a historic day," said NND Director Pål Mikkelsen "Today we celebrate that we have reached an important milestone and we have many exciting tasks ahead of us "Both NND and IFE will independently ensure the safety of their respective facilities we will continue our close and good cooperation but also to facilitate a successful transfer of nuclear facilities in Lillestrøm and in Aurskog-Høland when the time comes." NND said that since 2018 it has been "working on planning licensing applications and preparing its own organisation to take over responsibility for Norway's historic nuclear facilities Today's decision is the first part of the state taking over responsibility for all facilities associated with Norway's historic nuclear research programme" The Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority has given its approval for Norwegian Nuclear Decommissioning to assume responsibility for the nuclear fuel and materials testing reactor at Halden It is now up to the government to grant an operating licence DSA submitted a recommendation on NND's licence application for the Halden nuclear power plant DSA recommended that the licence should be transferred no earlier than 1 March this year and pointed out several conditions that must be in place before the licence transfer DSA announced that these conditions would be assessed in connection with NND's application for operating approval.  DSA has now said that NND has followed up on its recommendations "Based on a comprehensive assessment of the facility's technical condition safety measures and emergency response plan as well as the facility's management and personnel DSA grants NND approval to operate the nuclear facility in Halden from the time NND receives a licence for the facility," it said "In assessing NND's application for operating approval for the nuclear plant in Halden we have emphasised that the additional conditions we described in the recommendation must be met," said DSA Director Per Strand which is why we have given our approval for operation." He added: "We now consider that everything is clear on our part for NND to take over the concession for the nuclear plant in Halden and ensure the safe operation of the plant." Halden Kjernekraft has signed a letter of intent with landowner Store Bjørnstad located on the south side of the outlet of the Haldenvassdraget to Femsjøen Norwegian nuclear research organisation Halden Kjernekraft has selected a site in Halden for the construction of a nuclear power plant using small modular reactors (SMRs) Halden Kjernekraft was established in 2023, by Halden municipality, Østfold Energi and Norsk Kjernekraft to assess the feasibility of a nuclear power plant in Halden The company signed a letter of intent with landowner Store Bjørnstad for the plant site It has selected a site covering ​​up to 600 acres Halden Kjernekraft said it will further investigate these parameters in the next phase of the project and other studies will be conducted to evaluate its relevance Halden Kjernekraft general manager Håvard Kristiansen said: “Nuclear power is still a long way off but the time is ripe to investigate more concretely than has been done so far “We are planning a transparent process with the authorities and the local population and we are now inviting an open public meeting “Now we will work closely with the local population to tell them about what the ongoing investigations include and what a nuclear power plant could possibly entail We will investigate the area thoroughly to see if we can go ahead.” Halden Kjernekraft said it has considered several alternative options before finalising the current choice to further investigate the location the company considered key factors such as stable ground conditions with large Halden Kjernekraft informed the residents and landowners in the immediate vicinity about the measure and the further process related to the proposed nuclear power plant The site is thinly populated and is located right next to the county road which can be used for power plant operations without the need to build a new access road the site is already facing a significant natural encroachment in the form of a wide power corridor Kristiansen added: “Such a facility will be an encroachment on nature but we will work to minimise encroachment and take mitigating measures who points out that the project is in a very early phase.” Entrepreneur® and its related marks are registered trademarks of Entrepreneur Media LLC Truva Secures USD 3 Mn Funding to Revolutionise Real Estate Transactions has raised USD 3 million in a funding round led by Stellaris Venture Partners The round also attracted notable angel investors The new funding will be used for team expansion Truva offers detailed property listings enriched with features such as natural light scores It provides comprehensive support for buyers aiming to simplify and expedite the home-buying process "With our approach of prioritising buyer experiences we aim to reduce the overall complexities involved in real estate transactions thus accelerating the home-buying process," said Arora Truva has facilitated transactions worth over INR 30 crore in Powai with an impressive average sale time of 19 days compared to the market average of nine months Truva is currently active in Powai and Bandra with plans to broaden its presence across Mumbai over the next year Halden Secures INR 5 Cr Funding to Expand Luxury Men's Brand Mumbai-based luxury men's brand Halden has raised INR 5 crore in a seed funding round led by Prajay Advisors The company plans to use the new capital to broaden its market presence and enhance its product line "The fund raised will be strategically used to expand Haldèn's offline presence too and penetrate new online and retail markets."

deployment of a small modular reactor (SMR) in Norway The two companies will assess potential suppliers of equipment and services within Norway and from abroad Halden Kjernekraft was set up by Norsk Kjernekraft (40%) Østfold Energi (40%) and the municipality of Halden (20%) to investigate the construction of a NPP using SMR technology “We are very pleased to have chosen Amentum and Multiconsult for this task,” said Halden Kjernekraft “Multiconsult has extensive knowledge of the Norwegian supplier industry and the energy sector while Amentum has rich experience from the establishment of both small modular reactors and larger nuclear power plants in Europe and the UK.” Energy & Environment International said: “Working with Multiconsult we will draw on our extensive knowledge of SMR technology and nuclear supply chains to provide an objective factual review and assist the municipality of Halden in making a well-informed decision as to whether nuclear power can contribute to solving its future energy needs.” This is not expected until 2035 under current plans and has major consequences for Østfold The initiative to investigate the deployment of SMRs at Halden came from the municipality which has more than 60 years of experience of hosting the Institute for Energy Technology’s nuclear fuel and materials testing reactor which was permanently shut down by the institute in June 2018 Amentum and Multiconsult are currently carrying out engineering concept design and planning work for the decommissioning of the reactor It will follow the International Atomic Energy Agency’s Milestones Approach Norsk Kjernekraft submitted a proposal to Norway’s Energy Ministry for an assessment to construct a power plant based on multiple SMRs in the municipality of Øygarden

connected and sustainable future has officially opened its newly expanded section of its high voltage subsea cable plant in Halden Norway to support the increased demand globally for electrification and the energy transition The expansion project will support key projects including Nexans’ frame agreement with TenneT signed last year The construction for the expansion of the plant began in November 2021 and incorporates some of the most advanced cable production technology which will be able to deliver subsea cables up to 525kV for High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and 420kV for High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) The 34,000 square meter expansion more than doubles the capacity of the plant for HVDC extruded cables It also features a 152.89 meter tall second extrusion tower which will allow the plant to insulate four cables simultaneously in addition to the two existing lines and qualifies as Norway’s tallest building and first skyscraper The tower will be focused on the production of HVDC cables for offshore wind farms but can serve both HVDC and HVAC applications 100 more people have been hired and trained to support the increase in production from the facility and local indirect jobs will also be created to support the supply chain in Europe and globally This brings the total employment of the plant up to around 1,000 employees on site Our investment in Halden significantly increases our production capacity and illustrates Nexans’ commitment to sustainability and the global energy transition The plant will supply international markets with cables for key offshore wind farms and interconnectors that will bring renewable energy from the areas of high supply to those of high demand The importance of the newly expanded Halden plant cannot be overstated In a world that is rapidly becoming more electrified the expansion of cable production will supply a critical need in Europe and globally We are excited to work with our customers on producing the most

Man-Technology-Organisation (MTO) research carried out for more than 40 years as part of the OECD Halden Reactor Project (HRP) The first period of the Halden HTO Project was 2021-2023 The 2024-2026 Halden HTO goal is advancing in the Human-Technology Organisation (HTO) field by working on aspects of human performance reliability and organisation in various stages of the plant life This programme also includes research on SMRs with the prism of human and organisational performance The 2024-2026 project’s research programme consists of seven topics of prioritised Human Factors and Digital Systems Research for Existing and New Reactors including SMRs The research topics have been selected based on trends in the industry the needs expressed by the Halden Board of Management advice and recommendations given in HTO meetings and in direct discussions with Project members The HTO research programme is focused on areas such as human-automation collaboration digital systems for operation and maintenance as well as cyber security for main control rooms Topic 1 on Human Performance addresses four thematic areas: Topic 2 on Digital I&C – Safety Assurance addresses three thematic areas: Topic 3 on Control Room Eesign and Evaluation addresses five thematic areas: Topic 4 on Human-Automation Collaboration and Multi-Unit Operation addresses five thematic areas: Topic 5 on Digital Systems for Operation and Maintenance addresses three thematic areas: Topic 6 on Sustainable Decommissioning and Asset Lifecycle Management addresses two thematic areas: Topic 7 on Cybersecurity for Main Control Rooms addresses three thematic areas: 12 participating countries and 20 organisations The total project budget is EUR 14.58 million This project is financially managed by the NEA with the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) acting as Operating Agent 72 reports were issued and HTO staff members presented 57 papers at international conferences and 23 journal articles and book chapters were printed in the same period Data collections were done in various ways in different topics of the programme A main data source though is licensed crews working in the simulator laboratory HAMMLAB There was one crew in 2022 and seven crews in 2023 participating in studies data at training simulators at nuclear power plants with three crews were collected A report summarising the accomplishments

if Eddie May and Cindi Halden were soaring often helping people with limited means furnish their home the couple and business partners made a pitch on CBC’s “Dragons’ Den.” Though unable to disclose much about the result of the pitch until (or if) it airs Halden said it went well for them on the reality show which has entrepreneurs present business ideas and products to a panel of Canadian business moguls in hopes of securing cash and assistance They had hopes of expansion in the form of adding a couple of smaller retail outlets to serve more of southern Ontario Halden said they also had dreams of opening a warehouse in the Kawartha Lakes region Halden started experiencing pain in her pelvic region while weightlifting “I realized something was wrong,” she said Doctors found a tumour outside the pelvic wall Halden spent three weeks in Juravinski Hospital in Hamilton undergoing radiation treatment the world has kind of flipped upside down for us,” she said Halden’s now in her second round of chemotherapy and is responding well to it — in part because of her relatively young age (she’s 41) and overall general good health “I feel a lot better than I did a couple months ago,” she said Halden said the hardest part was having to explain to their children “And then they had to go back to school and they had missed their whole summer,” she said May has done his best to maintain both the home front and the business though it hasn’t been easy and business has definitely suffered as they are unable to afford to pay for help but you’ve got to stay positive and keep moving forward,” he said While Halden said she’s feeling better now But one thing that has been clarified is after being a couple for nearly 20 years It’s something they’ve always put on the back burner directing their limited resources to their business “We always wanted to get married but never had the money to do it,” Halden said Halden said the urgency was driven by a desire to hold the occasion when she’s able to “I don’t know what the future holds,” she said “I want to do it before I look and feel too sick to do it.” Fortunately, the couple has had some help along with way. In August her cousin Nancy Librock-MacLean started a GoFundMe campaign to help with everyday costs, including for transportation back and forth to hospital. The campaign can be found at gofundme.com/f/support-for-cindi-and-ed-during-these-difficult-times.

The initiative to investigate the deployment of SMRs at Halden came from the municipality itself, which has more than 60 years of experience of hosting the Institute for Energy Technology's (IFE's) nuclear fuel and materials testing reactor. It was declared permanently shut down by IFE in June 2018. The decision to found Halden Kjernekraft was made by the Halden municipal council on 9 November. The partners noted there is currently a power deficit in the Oslo, Akershus and Østfold region of 16 TWh. In addition, Norwegian grid operator Statnett has warned that there is no available capacity for new, larger consumption without new production and increased network capacity into eastern Norway. This is not expected until 2035 under current plans and has major consequences for Østfold. "The time is ripe to investigate whether small modular reactors can be part of the solution to the power shortage in Østfold," said Roar Vevelstad, municipal director in Halden municipality. "We must explore all possibilities and not be afraid of knowledge." "The municipality has long experience as a host for nuclear reactors and has solid expertise to make good decisions," added Norsk Kjernekraft CEO Jonny Hesthammer. "The citizens are well used to nuclear reactor operations, and see that it contributes to creating long-term jobs. It forms a very good starting point for a collaboration, where we thoroughly investigate whether nuclear power can contribute to solving the municipality's future power needs." Norsk Kjernekraft aims to build, own and operate SMR power plants in Norway in collaboration with power-intensive industry. It says it will prepare licence applications in accordance with national regulations and international standards. It will follow the International Atomic Energy Agency's approach for milestones, and focus on what creates value in the early phase. Financing will take place in collaboration with capital-strong industry and solid financial players. The company entered into an agreement of intent earlier this year on the investigation of nuclear power with several municipalities. Last week, Norsk Kjernekraft submitted a proposal to Norway's Ministry of Oil and Energy for an assessment into the construction of a power plant based on multiple SMRs in the municipalities of Aure and Heim.

Ms Halden completed her studies in 2023 and started her career in Sydney while also working at a domestic violence refuge for Indigenous women and children She works with people at all stages of life Ms Halden said her other areas of interest were domestic violence victim-survivors and people with medical trauma Alice Halden Art Therapy and Counselling can offer support to individuals and groups in person or via telehealth I'm always focused on the connection between the body and the mind," she said "Although I might not be doing art with every client that walks through the door, the art therapy approach can be applied to everybody "It's a different way of thinking than psychology and I find that art-making gets to the heart of what is going on for that person and they don't have to use words to explain it "I'm flexible and can use play therapy and eco-art where we take things from outside to do or inspire our art." Caitlin McAlister had regularly used talk-based therapy, but a move to art therapy has proven positive "It wasn't until I worked with Alice and the therapeutic approaches she practices that it really promoted vulnerability within myself," she said "This approach helped me better connect with my body and what I was feeling rather than being cerebral and conceptualising my emotions and trauma "Alice's approach encourages and empowers a truly vulnerable and intentional process of healing and acceptance."

government Norway has put nuclear fuels and materials testing in the United States and Europe in a scramble Office of Nuclear Energy The shutdown of a 60-year-old test reactor at Halden has put nuclear fuels and materials testing in the United States and Europe in a scramble Department of Energy to ask research leaders and regulators to brainstorm a path forward The reactor had been shut down since March Participants at the meeting — DOE, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and representatives from American and European research agencies and test facilities — agreed that no single facility can replicate what Halden has done But there was consensus that many of Halden’s capabilities exist or may be replicated elsewhere and that the situation could create new collaborative opportunities The effort to develop accident-tolerant fuels for commercial reactors could be particularly affected by any delay, said INL’s Steve Hayes, national technical director of DOE’s Advanced Fuels Campaign “We need to assess what vendors have been planning in Halden that we have to find a new home for,” he said Three DOE-sponsored vendor teams are developing accident-tolerant fuel concepts – Global Nuclear Fuel (a General Electric subsidiary) Framatome (formerly Areva) and Westinghouse The goal is to get test assemblies into U.S While their activities in the United States are ahead of schedule all three teams had experiments planned for Halden and must now find suitable new places to conduct them “All these reactors can do something,” Hayes said “What we’re really looking for are the gaps left by the Halden shutdown This meeting is about vetting ideas and finding out what’s been overlooked.” The urgency with respect to accident-tolerant fuels is that they are being designed for the present fleet of nuclear reactors in the United States and any delay in development will lessen the economic argument for using new fuels in reactors that are already 40 to 50 years old No single materials test reactor is capable of replacing Halden in all its functions representing the Belgian nuclear research center SCK-CEN “The nuclear industry will not put all its eggs in one basket again,” he said which restarted in late 2017 and has its first experiment scheduled for September will be a prominent player because of its versatility and accessibility Halden’s closure represents an opportunity for the materials and fuels testing community to turn the page deputy director-general and chief nuclear officer of the Paris-based Nuclear Energy Agency an arm of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) the Halden Reactor Project demonstrated the value of international shared fuel and material testing activities,” he said Even in the wake of the reactor’s shutdown expertise and research from Halden to be invaluable assets that can be shared worldwide through a coordinated approach with key experiments implemented at multiple facilities but in the way that we behave,” Iracane said “Creating confidence is a very important part.” such as which shipping containers and casks can be licensed at each facility whether experimental fuel samples can be stored and where material library sources exist for both accident-tolerant fuel and light water reactor research There is a fundamental tension between researchers who can never dig deep enough into the details who are more focused on getting their fuels qualified and into action different organizations from nation to nation have different funding models In a statement it released announcing the Halden reactor shutdown IFE said it needed extraordinary funding from the Norwegian government to keep the reactor in operation “IFE’s board concluded that operation of the

homes in Lancaster and Lebanon Counties makes it easy and convenient to make arrangements and host services close to home I graduated from Colorado State University and have been working with cattle and the people who care for them ever since I’ve had the opportunity to work with dairies cow/calf operations and feedlots.     What is your position at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln I am stationed at the Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center My title is health stewardship veterinarian and my role is to work primarily with fourth year veterinary students in hands-on clinical courses focused on beef cattle.  What drew you to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln beef industry is what originally drew my family here and the opportunity to work with students in a well-known veterinary facility like GPVEC was appealing.  What aspect of working in an educational setting do you enjoy the most I consider shaping the viewpoints of students both an honor and a responsibility work and struggle that is required of students in the learning process is real I get to work with a very talented group here at GPVEC Engaging with them on ideas related to veterinary medicine daily is enjoyable.  What do you consider your greatest achievement but the credit doesn’t go to me.  The opportunity to be a husband and father is a great blessing and I hope that each day I’m becoming gradually better at it.  What is something that most people don't know about you I like to exercise with weights called “kettlebells.” They look like a cannonball with a handle One unrelated unusual thing about me is that when I raise my eyebrows I have more forehead wrinkles than anyone I know of.  We are involved in several cattle enterprises have two dogs and are at a couple youth sporting events over the course of an average week We are also thankful for and involved with our church family We hiked to the top of Mount Evans in Colorado recently and we are hoping to tackle more of Colorado’s 14ers this coming summer.    Some parts of this site work best with JavaScript enabled Lightbridge Corporation has announced plans to conduct the initial testing and demonstration of its advanced metallic nuclear fuel in the USA at sites it will announce before the early part of next year The Halden project is a joint undertaking of national organisations in 19 countries sponsoring a jointly financed programme under the auspices of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) The programme is financed by the participating countries and is renewed every three years Norway covers about 30% of the programme cost "In conjunction with the licence renewal process for the Halden Reactor IFE has over the last year carried out a strategic review of reactor operations including a financial and operational risk assessment IFE's Board concluded that operation of the reactor beyond the current licence period is not viable as this would imply business risks in excess of what IFE is capable of handling on its own," IFE said IFE has lost more than EUR18 million on its nuclear operation and has this year relied on extraordinary funding from the Norwegian government IFE said it is not able to manage the financial risk of operating the reactor which was taken against the votes of employee representatives will not affect IFE's other activities as one of Norway's leading research institutes 130 employees work in relation to the Halden reactor but IFE says it is not planning any redundancies in connection with its closure "The Halden Reactor is by many countries regarded as a strategic asset for testing fuel and reactor components vital to improve nuclear safety," IFE said "Research activities have been carried out since 1958 under the framework of the Halden Project IFE and the Norwegian state remain "strongly committed" to the Halden Project even though reactor operations will be discontinued and will work to develop a revised research programme Lightbridge reaffirmed plans to start testing its fuel in a US research reactor by 2020 as well as deploy a lead test rod in a US commercial reactor by 2021 said: "While we may conduct tests at sites in Europe or other countries with suitable test facilities we are extremely pleased with the strong and growing support in the US at both the commercial and governmental levels We look forward to announcing formal arrangements for irradiation testing of our fuel samples in a US research reactor and our lead test rod programme with a US nuclear utility later this year or early next year."
