U.K. releases new plans to speed nuclear deployment
In an effort to revamp its nuclear sector and enable the buildout of new projects, the U.K. has unveiled a sweeping set of changes to project deployment. These changes, which are set to come into effect by the end of next year, will restructure the country’s regulatory and environmental approval framework and directly support new growth through various workforce efforts.

The three completed stages of an alloy development program aimed at defining a nickel chromium-based alloy resistant to carburization in simulated high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) helium with high-temperature strength similar to alloy Inconel-617 show that alloys based on nickel and 10% chromium with 10 to 16% tungsten and 1.1 to 3.2% titanium exhibit good corrosion resistance in dry simulated HTGR helium and have short-time creep properties similar to Inconel-617. The alloys are readily hot and cold workable and show potentially good structural stability.
