IAEA Nuclear Power Ministerial announcements October 2022

Trade and Industry Ota Fusae have announced deeper cooperation to support the deployment of small modular reactor (SMR) and other advanced reactor technologies in partner countries. The announcement, Winning an Edge Through Cooperation in Advanced Nuclear, or WECAN, was made at the International Atomic Energy Agency Nuclear Power Ministerial in Washington, DC.

Trade and Industry Ota Fusae today announced a strategic collaboration to support the deployment of small modular reactor (SMR) technology in Ghana, considering the current state of technology neutrality of Ghana’s nuclear power program. The collaboration to support the deployment of SMRs in Ghana is subject to Ghana’s nuclear regulation and U.S. export controls.

the U.S. Trade and Development Agency awarded a grant to Romania’s RoPower Nuclear S.A. (RoPower), a subsidiary of the national nuclear energy producer, Nuclearelectrica SA, for a front-end engineering and design (FEED) study to develop the country’s first small modular reactor (“SMR”) nuclear power plant.
