Emil Jacobs - Collectifission<p>"A review of the feasibility studies submitted by EDF, Westinghouse and Korea Hydro &amp; Nuclear Power for two new reactors in the Netherlands suggests that all three designs would meet necessary safety requirements, the country's nuclear regulator announced. Last week, KHNP indicated it is withdrawing from the technology selection process.</p><p>In December 2021, the Netherlands' new coalition government placed nuclear power at the heart of its climate and energy policy. Based on preliminary plans, two new reactors will be completed around 2035 and each will have a capacity of 1000-1650 MWe. The two reactors would provide 9-13% of the country's electricity production in 2035. The cabinet announced in December 2022 that it currently sees Borssele as the most suitable location for the construction of the new reactors.</p><p>EDF of France, KHNP of South Korea and Westinghouse of the USA were contracted by the Ministry of Climate and Green Growth (KGG) to conduct feasibility studies into the construction of their respective reactors - the EPR, APR-1400 and AP1000 - in the Netherlands. </p><p>The studies were to consider whether their designs comply with Dutch legislation and regulations, whether they can be fitted into the preferred location at Borssele, and to develop a more detailed estimate of the costs and time required to build the two new units. The possible impact on the environment was also highlighted in the studies. In November, Amentum of the USA was selected to review and advise on the studies submitted by the three potential reactor vendors.</p><p>The country's Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (ANVS) has now released its conclusions of the review of the studies. It notes that it reviewed the APR-1400 design before KHNP said it would withdraw. ANVS said that, "when it comes to safety", it is feasible any of the three designs could be built in the Netherlands.</p><p>"These companies have tested their designs against our guidelines for Safe Design and Safe Operation of Nuclear Power Plants (VOBK)," ANVS said. "In doing so, they have identified a number of points where their design deviates from the literal text of the VOBK and have provided substantiation that the underlying safety objectives are being achieved."</p><p>The ANVS uses the VOBK as a reference framework for the design assessment in the run-up to the licensing procedure. "Following recommendations from the International Atomic Energy Agency, the recent evaluation of the Nuclear Energy Act and the results of this self-evaluation, the ANVS has decided to revise the VOBK to better align it with the international state-of-the-art, to harmonise it more internationally and to make it less technology-dependent," it said.<br>Findings on each design<br> </p><p>ANVS notes that Westinghouse's AP1000 relies heavily on the use of passive systems for safety management. "In a possible licensing procedure, it must still be proven in detail that the passive systems and principles are also sufficiently reliable in practice to guarantee safety in all accident scenarios," it said. "This will be an extensive point of attention for the ANVS during the design assessment." In addition, it says the safety file of the AP1000 is largely based on compliance with prescriptive US standards, while in the Netherlands, targeted legal standards apply. "This system requires the applicant to demonstrate in detail that these objectives are achieved with the design. This entails a risk of a longer lead time because the applicant will have to rewrite the safety documentation extensively. In addition, there are risks for the licensing because in the American frameworks, different choices are sometimes made than in the IAEA framework or EU context."</p><p>Regarding EDF's EPR, ANVS notes that the design has been based on Western European norms and standards from the start of the design phase. "The many (safety) systems make the design robust but also complex," it said. "This poses challenges for both the permitting and (supervision of) the construction in terms of the amount of work and maintaining a good overview." However, it said that as the reactor is already in operation or under construction in Finland, France and the UK, it "has the advantage that the ANVS will be able to rely as much as possible on European colleague authorities when assessing the design". It notes that EDF is now focused on developing the EPR2 design, so EDF "must ensure that this does not detract from the quality of the design that is offered to the Netherlands". </p><p>Although KHNP has now withdrawn its APR-1400 design, ANVS said the design "appears to meet the expectations that (Western) European countries, including the Netherlands, have for nuclear power plants". It added that KHNP's intention to rely heavily on the supply of components from South Korea "entails challenges with regard to the on-site quality assurance assessment and supervision by the ANVS during manufacturing". </p><p>ANVS concludes: "Based on the self-evaluations as carried out by the designers, the ANVS sees no reason to assume that one of these designs could not be licensed in the Netherlands. As far as safety is concerned, there is therefore no reason to exclude a design from participation in the tender or to require adjustments to the standard design in the context of this process."</p><p>The regulator said the Ministry of Climate and Green Growth "can use this information for the tender to ultimately come to the choice of a company that can start building in the Netherlands.</p><p>"Naturally, before a permit is granted, ANVS will very carefully assess whether the design complies with Dutch legislation and regulations, whereby the applicant will have to provide much more information about the design and the safety analyses than is currently available in the self-assessments," ANVS said. "Only once the location is known will it be possible to consider the location-specific safety aspects that play a role at that location.""</p><p><a href="https://greennuclear.online/tags/Nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nuclear</span></a> <a href="https://greennuclear.online/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>News</span></a> <a href="https://greennuclear.online/tags/Netherlands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Netherlands</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.world-nuclear-news.org/articles/proposed-reactor-designs-seem-suitable-dutch-regulator-concludes" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">world-nuclear-news.org/article</span><span class="invisible">s/proposed-reactor-designs-seem-suitable-dutch-regulator-concludes</span></a></p>

oatmeal<p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Palestine</span></a> / Frontline of colonization: Dutch Christian organizations funding Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank</p><p>Dutch Christian organizations, particularly "Christenen voor Israël" (Christians for Israel), are collecting millions of euros annually to support Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, with at least €420,000 documented as going directly to at least 15 settlements in 2023. Christians for Israel has deep connections with Dutch politics, particularly with the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristenUnie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristenUnie</span></a> party, with board members in both organizations.</p><p>In an undercover investigation, reporters posed as potential donors and spoke with Nati Rom, who runs a Dutch-registered foundation. Rom explicitly offered to use donations for "cameras, pepper gas and pistols" and discussed ways to hide these transactions.</p><p>These settlements are considered illegal under international law, and supporting them contradicts Dutch and European policy regarding the two-state solution. This funding contributes to the displacement of Palestinian residents.</p><p>When confronted, Christians for Israel denied financing weapons and promised to stop supporting Nati Rom pending further investigation. Other organizations mentioned in the article were either not available for comment or stated they don't distinguish between where people live in Israel.</p><p>Dutch <a href="https://www.groene.nl/artikel/camera-s-pepperspray-en-pistolen" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">groene.nl/artikel/camera-s-pep</span><span class="invisible">perspray-en-pistolen</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OccupiedWestBank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OccupiedWestBank</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SettlerColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SettlerColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Zionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Zionism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristianZionizm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianZionizm</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nederland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nederland</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Netherlands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Netherlands</span></a></p>

Emil Jacobs - Collectifission<p>"NRG-Pallas - operator of the High Flux Reactor at Petten in the Netherlands - has been contracted by Kairos Power of the USA to perform irradiation demonstrations and qualifications of fuels and materials that will be used in its small modular reactor.</p><p>Under the contract, NRG-Pallas will conduct fuel irradiation tests in the High Flux Reactor (HFR) to demonstrate the performance level required. Based on this, Kairos Power will be able to demonstrate to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) how the fuel meets the safety and performance requirements.</p><p>In addition, NRG-Pallas will perform irradiation tests that characterise the response of graphite to high levels of neutron exposure and demonstrate the safety limits of the graphite structures. The post-irradiation properties of the graphite are an important benchmark for NRC licensing and provide information on the safety of the reactor technology.</p><p>Irradiation tests will also be performed on the stainless-steel material used for the reactor vessel and structural components. The purpose of this testing is to demonstrate compliance with the safety and design requirements for licensing activities of the NRC.</p><p>NRG-Pallas said it has been conducting research into the use of graphite for Kairos Power for several years. "The new contracts are an important continuation of the long-term relationship with this innovative developer of advanced reactors," it said.</p><p>Kairos Power has adopted a rapid iterative development approach and vertical integration strategy to bring its Fluoride Salt-Cooled High-Temperature Reactor (KP-FHR) technology to market. Site work and excavation for a low-power demonstration reactor version, Hermes, began at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, last year after the NRC issued a construction permit in 2023, targeted to be operational by 2027. The NRC has also completed the final environmental assessment for the construction of the next iteration - the two-unit power-producing Hermes 2 plant - which is also planned to be built at Oak Ridge.</p><p>The KP-FHR will use fully ceramic TRISO (tri-structural isotropic) pebble-type fuel. The Hermes and Hermes 2 demonstration plants will feature units with a thermal capacity of 35 MW each. The two 35 MWt units at Hermes 2 are intended to power a common turbine generator set to produce about 20 MW electric (MWe).</p><p>Kairos envisages its commercial KP-FHR offering as dual unit plants, with two 75 MWe units for a total of 150 MWe of power output.</p><p>A deal signed in October last year by Kairos and Google will support the first commercial deployment of Kairos Power's reactor by 2030, with multiple reactors supplying clean electricity to Google data centres through power purchase agreements.</p><p>"With the current digitalisation, the demand for electricity is increasing," said Arjan Vreeling, Manager R&amp;D Nuclear Fuels and Materials at NRG-Pallas. "Companies like Google are looking ahead and are meeting their own future energy needs with SMRs. We are proud that Kairos Power, a leading company in the field of advanced reactors, has assigned this innovative research to us."</p><p>Micah Hackett, Vice President, Fuels and Materials at Kairos Power, added: "Kairos Power depends on accurate and reliable irradiation data to advance its reactor technology and support both design and permitting processes.
