Progress and pain with RERTR – 20 years on
30 November, 1998
First the USA, then other countries have dragged their heels over converting research reactors from high to low enrichment fuel in line with the anti-proliferation targets set over 20 years ago. However, over the past couple of years, a renewed impetus has built up as progress in several areas has been achieved.

Shipping foreign research reactor spent fuel to the US enters smoother waters
30 November, 1998
The US DOE’s programme to take US-origin research reactor spent fuel from other countries has had a difficult journey through review procedures and court actions despite the motive of reducing proliferation risks. Now, however, NAC International’s shipment of the fuel from foreign shores to US storage facilities is running smoothly. This may also be a positive harbinger for the future transportation of spent fuel from US nuclear power plants.

Russian industry looks west
30 November, 1998
Through improved efficiencies, Russia’s nuclear fuel industry intends to increase its presence in Western markets. The Russian nuclear industry also plans to use its plutonium stocks in MOX fuel as part of a closed fuel cycle involving fast reactors. These were the main messages of the Russian Nuclear Society organised conference, Nuclear Fuel for Mankind, held in Electrostal in October. By JUDITH PERERA

Eskom sees a nuclear future in the pebble bed
30 November, 1998
Is there a reactor type for which public acceptance, and the costs of safety in the achievement of that acceptance, would allow a renewal of a nuclear power programme? In South Africa, Eskom successfully operates the two unit Koeberg PWR station, but it does not see LWRs as a solution for the present. Rather, it is putting its technical and financial resources behind a modular pebble bed high temperature reactor project which it sees as the best approach to take.
