"The global situation remains volatile. Therefore, it would be difficult to comment on when and whether the prices will be changed, at this stage due to the sensitivity of the matter."
Iran undoes slowdown in enrichment of uranium to near weapons-grade: IAEA
Iran has increased its production of highly enriched uranium, reversing a previous slowdown that had begun in mid-2023, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The uranium is being enriched to up to 60%, close to the weapons-grade level. The slowdown was initially believed to be a result of secret talks between the United States and Iran, leading to the release of U.S. citizens held in Iran.
Adani Power to blend green ammonia with coal to run 330-MW boiler at Mundra plant to cut carbon emission
Green ammonia, produced from green hydrogen, which in turn is produced through electrolysis using renewable energy, would be a feedstock for the boilers.
Adani Power to co-fire green ammonia at its Mundra Plant
As ammonia contains no carbon, there is no CO2 emission from its combustion, making it a long-term carbon neutral alternative to fossil fuels. Adani Power has already set a benchmark in the industry for ‘per-unit’ emissions and has adopted state of the art ‘Ultra Supercritical technology’ in its newest plants, the company said in a press statement.
Putin needs money to fund the Ukraine war. The US and its European allies are helping him to make it
The US and Europe are importing nuclear fuel and compounds from Russia despite sanctions over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, providing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for Rosatom, Russia's state-owned energy corporation. Russia supplied the US nuclear industry with about 12% of its uranium last year, and Europe reported obtaining around 17% of its uranium from Russia in 2022.
Russia exports key raw material for Kundankulam nuclear plant
Eight water jet pumps for Kudankulam NPP Units 5 and 6 were produced and shipped by CNIITMASH JSC specialists (belonging within JSC Atomenergomash, a machine-building division of ROSATOM). The items are intended to be used for chemical solution feed to the emergency cooling system of the primary circuit and spent fuel storage pool cooling.
