Quick Glance: Reviving a Decommissioned Nuclear Plant
- With a financial support of $1.52 billion from the US Department of Energy, an inactive nuclear power plant in Michigan may receive a new opportunity. If successful, this would mark the first instance of a closed nuclear power plant reopening in the US.
- After 50 years of operation, the Palisades nuclear power plant was decommissioned in 2022. The process of reopening presents technical, administrative, and regulatory challenges. However, the new owners have been working on the plans for years, which facilitates the potential restart.
- Securing funding and approvals is crucial for the revival of the nuclear power plant. State support and a substantial federal loan are intended to cover the necessary repairs and upgrades. Yet, regulatory approval remains a significant hurdle in the reopening process.
- In the event of approval, Palisades aims to operate until at least 2051. The growing support for nuclear energy and increased financing make older facilities more profitable. Nevertheless, a wave of reopenings for other decommissioned nuclear plants in the US is unlikely.

Proxima Fusion raises $21M to build on its ‘stellarator’ approach to nuclear fusion
techcrunch.com/2024/04/09/proxima-fusion-raises-21m-to-build-on-its-stellarator-approach-to-nuclear-fusion/
Quick Glance: Proxima Fusion raises $21M to advance 'stellarator' nuclear fusion
- Venture capitalists' interest in fusion startups has fluctuated recently. Despite nuclear fusion companies attracting over $6 billion in investments in 2023, $1.4 billion more than in 2022, the 27% growth was slower due to external concerns like inflation.
- However, beyond the numbers, startup innovation in the field continues with novel approaches to harness the Sun's energy for safe and endless power.
- Proxima Fusion, the first spin-out of the renowned Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP), has raised €20 million ($21.7M) to kickstart the construction of its initial fusion power plants.
- The company's technology is based on 'quasi-isodynamic (QI) stellarators' with high-temperature superconductors, leveraging research from the Max Planck IPP, which developed the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) experiment, the world's largest stellarator.

Quick Glance: Romania's Nuclearelectrica Plans Decision on SMR Plant by 2025
- Next year, Romania is set to make a preliminary final investment decision on whether to construct a small modular reactor plant (SMR).
- State-owned nuclear company Nuclearelectrica is expected to collaborate with U.S. energy utility NuScale Power to build reactors, promoting low-emission energy sources.
- SMRs are designed for new applications such as replacing decommissioned coal plants and are easier to scale than traditional reactors.
- The Romanian project is backed by $4 billion in financial support from the U.S. Exim Bank and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, with potential investors also looking to provide equity for the project.

Romania to build six small modular nuclear reactors near Bucharest with US financing
romania-insider.com/romania-small-modular-nuclear-reactors-near-bucharest-us-2024
Quick Glance: Romania Plans Construction of Six Small Modular Nuclear Reactors near Bucharest
- Romania, in collaboration with the United States, aims to construct six small modular reactors approximately 90 kilometers from Bucharest. These facilities have the capacity to supply electricity to 46,000 households and potentially generate 4,000 job opportunities. The total investment amounts to 6 billion US dollars, with a portion being funded by the US.
- The proposed reactors in the town of Doicești, situated in Dâmbovița county, could become operational by the conclusion of 2029. Originating from the United States, these reactors will mark their debut implementation in Romania.
- Sebastian Burduja, Romania's Minister of Energy, envisions this project as a catalyst for positioning Romania at the forefront of the nuclear sector. Consultations with American experts validate the safety of the technology for the residents of Doicești.
- The US Ambassador to Bucharest, Kathleen Kavalec, disclosed that the funding for the SMR project in Dâmbovița county, totaling 4 billion US dollars, will be provided by the EXIM Bank and the US International Development Finance Corporation. The construction activities are scheduled to continue until 2030.
