While there are many articles being published about private companies in space, it is easy to forget just how much groundbreaking research NASA is carrying out. NASA’s research is not all about space flight and telescopes, either. The goal of some NASA research is to support other space operations such as a base on the moon.
Two nuclear projects are among eleven international space projects selected to receive funding from the U.K. Space Agency. Rolls-Royce's collaboration with BWXT receives one and a half million dollars to further its work on fission nuclear systems for space power missions. An international project led by the University of Leicester receives a million dollars.
Energoatom and Hyundai E&C have just signed a memorandum of cooperation (MoC). The MoC signed by the Ukranian and South Korean companies covers collaboration on the design, construction and commissioning of new nuclear units in Ukraine.

The Netherland Authority for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (ANVS) has granted the final permit to Urenco, the uranium enrichment company, for the construction and operation of a new radioactive waste storage facility at its Almelo site. Last year, Urenco was granted permission to build the facility prior to the permit being issued.

Massive growth is expected in the global demand for electricity, which will require an expansion of both generation and the transmission system. This was conveyed by speakers at a side event at the World Energy Congress 2024. They said that nuclear power will play an important role, in ensuring the resilience of the future electricity system.
