Molten salt reactor developer Thorizon and Dutch research and technology organisation TNO have launched a materials and corrosion programme to generate the experimental data and predictive models required to qualify materials for molten salt reactors.
 

A memorandum of understanding with the molten salt reactor developer Thorizon will examine Urenco's potential role in the molten salt fuel supply chain and how depleted uranium could become a fuel resource for advanced nuclear.
 

South Korea's Hyundai Engineering & Construction has been contracted by Westinghouse to carry out basic design studies for the construction of two large nuclear power plants in the Netherlands based on Westinghouse's AP1000 design.
 

As the Dutch Senate approves an amendment to the Nuclear Energy Act, allowing a possible life extension of the Borssele nuclear power plant beyond 2033, the government said it has reached an agreement on acquiring 70% of the shares of operator EPZ.
 

EDF and Westinghouse have been awarded contracts by the Nuclear Energy Organisation of the Netherlands - the state-owned company established for the construction and operation of two new large nuclear power plants - to carry out design studies for the plants.
 

Dutch nuclear development company ULC-Energy has signed a cooperation agreement with USA-based engineering and construction firm McDermott to support development of Rolls-Royce SMR projects in the Netherlands.
 

An initial siting study commissioned by the Province of Overijssel and carried out by Tractebel has identified potential locations for small modular reactors. The study is aimed at informing the province's future energy mix options.
 

An advanced testing facility where molten salt reactor technologies can be developed and tested has been launched at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, in the province of North Brabant in the Netherlands.
 

The Netherlands and Belgium have signed a memorandum of understanding to deepen their cooperation on nuclear energy. The collaboration is intended to contribute to better knowledge exchange and a stronger supply chain.
