The Inspector General of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) released a new report last Thursday. The report states that counterfeit parts have been discovered in U.S. nuclear power plants. These parts increase the risk of a safety failure. This report will have a serious effect on the U.S.

There is a great deal of research being carried out to generate power with nuclear fusion reactors. Many countries have fusion projects and there are claims that commercial power nuclear fusion plants may be in operation by 2030. Japan has now announced that it will be part of the intense competition to harness nuclear fusion for power generation.

Two new North American initiatives dedicated to accelerating the deployment of technologies for fusion power generation have been announced. In Canada, Bruce Power, General Fusion, and the Nuclear Innovation Institute (NII) will collaborate to evaluate potential deployment of a fusion power plant in Ontario.
