There have been significant developments in small modular reactor technologies in 2022. The International Atomic Energy Agency expects small modular reactors (SMRs) to make an important contribution to achieving global climate goals and energy supply security. But with more than 70 SMR designs under development in 18 countries – including innovative reactors that are yet to be licensed and novel methods of modular manufacturing that are new to the nuclear industry – widely deploying SMRs in time remains a tall task.

Project Bright, the construction of eight new beamlines at ANSTO’s Australian Synchrotron has reached a milestone by achieving ‘First Light’ for the new micro-computed tomography (MCT) beamline in late NovembeR.

Biochemical and structural studies to elucidate protein interactions of the new compounds and target molecules included X-ray diffraction at the Australian Synchrotron.
