NRG travels around the world to improve the safety of nuclear reactors. In Cape Town we are collaborating with electricity company ESKOM in developing a new generation of nuclear reactors. This type provides more safety, less waste and is suitable for hydrogen production as well as electricity generation. NRG will be responsible for the development of fissionable material, safety analyses and consulting activities.

Nuclear fusion as an infinite source of energy - the construction of a nuclear fusion reactor in the French Cadarache is an important step forward in this quest. NRG has been asked to make a contribution to the global partnership ITER, or rather to the road. This is why we will be developing the materials able to resist the extreme circumstances in this reactor.

British Energy in London is one of the largest British electricity providers. NRG will be providing advice regarding the extension of the effective operating time of fifteen nuclear reactors (built between 1976 and 1988). Crucial is that the graphite interiors continue to be of adequate quality. We will be testing this in our own High Flux Reactor through various radiation studies.

As a true safety specialist, we use hypermodern technology. This is also the case in maintenance of the reactor in Swedish Ringhals. We apply the latest robotics here. They penetrate to the heart of the reactor using ultrasonic technology. After detailed preparations, we can examine and assess the heart of the reactor during a very short reactor stop.

The nuclear fission process produces wastage. This waste material remains potentially hazardous for hundreds of thousands of years. From our location in Europe, we are working on solutions to this serious problem together with our partners in Japan. Solutions such as recycling. Research has indicated that waste can be reused in the reactor and once again produce valuable energy. Even more important: we can decrease its life cycle to a few hundred years this way!

NRG is the leading base material producer for medical isotopes in Europe. Every year, more than ten million patients are treated with nuclear medicines originating in Petten. We collaborate on new products with academic hospitals and researchers throughout Europe in finding the cure for cancer.

A small bit of software can be used to save hundreds of thousands of euros in fuel costs. Using a unique computer code, our clients can optimize the use of uranium for fuel. An NRG world premier! At this time, 25% of all US reactors use ROSA. This includes electricity giant Florida Power & Light in Miami. The code is extremely popular in the rest of the world, too. In addition to enormous cost reductions, it also significantly reduces the amount of waste.

Electricity use in China is up by ten percent every year. It is the fastest growing economy in the world. In the next ten years, the country will be building twenty new nuclear reactors. Nuclear energy will play an important role, in part to combat environmental pollution. In the future, the Chinese hope to construct reactors based on their own designs. They plan to use NRG expertise in achieving this.

NRG is a frontrunner where a sustainable future for coming generations is concerned. PALLAS is the Greek goddess of wisdom and craftsmanship, and is the name of our new NRG reactor. Starting in 2020, this type will replace the current High Flux reactor. We will then be able to perform even more innovative research, for example, finding solutions for radioactive waste or new medical products.
