The newly signed agreement between Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) and TRIUMF, Canada's national nuclear laboratory, promises to be a catalyst for research and innovation. The two organizations have come together to embark on joint research projects and exchange scientific information and equipment in areas of mutual interest, such as health sciences, materials sciences, radiation, analytical and imaging technologies, cyber security, and accelerator and particle detection technologies.


CNL operates sites across Canada for Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd, fostering collaboration between government, industry, academia and the private sector to support the safe and reliable operation of Canada's nuclear fleet, as well as clean energy, public health, environmental stewardship, and national security initiatives. On the other hand, TRIUMF, established in 1968 and based in Vancouver, is a hub for advanced particle and nuclear physics research, boasting the largest accelerator of its type in the world, and the world's most powerful superconducting linear accelerator for rare isotope production.


The new agreement offers an exciting opportunity to explore areas of collaboration beyond the initial focus points, optimize the use of resources and leverage national science infrastructure to achieve shared goals. According to Jeff Griffin, Vice-President of Science and Technology at CNL, the agreement represents an opportunity "to really grow" the organizations' relationship and mobilize knowledge, spur innovation and intellectual property, and advance solutions to national and industry challenges. Nigel Smith, Director of TRIUMF, believes that the agreement opens up "new and exciting opportunities for synergy" in Canadian nuclear science, and serves to enhance Canada's global leadership in accelerator science, nuclear research, and the production of critical medical isotopes.

Some of the current Nuclear Technology Trends are:

Advanced reactors (e.g. SMRs, molten salt reactors)

Decommissioning and waste management

Digitalization and automation

Nuclear fusion research

Used fuel recycling and reprocessing.

Pertamina Geothermal Energy,GDC and AGIL to develop 200 MW Suswa ,Narok Geothermal Field

Pertamina Geothermal Energy, GDC, and AGIL Agree to Accelerate Development of 2 Geothermal Fields in Kenya By: Robert Buluma Nairobi, Kenya, March 8, 2024 – PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk (PGE) has reached an agreement with Kenya's geothermal development companies, Geothermal Development Company Ltd. (GDC), and Africa Geothermal International Ltd. (AGIL), to expedite the development of geothermal fields in the African nation. Exploration of two geothermal fields in Kenya, developed by PGE along with its partners, is expected to commence in 2024. In high-level discussions held at GDC's headquarters in Nairobi on Wednesday (3/6/2024), PGE and GDC discussed the support from the Kenyan government in accelerating the geothermal field development project in Suswa, a volcanic area located in Narok, Kenya. GDC is a government-owned geothermal developer in Kenya. The PGE delegation, led by President Director Julfi Hadi and accompanied by PGE's Director of Exploration and Develop

Polands Geothermal Wells hits 5km depth Eyeing a 7Km Threshold

Geothermal Milestone Reached: Banska PGP-4 Well in Szaflary, Poland Hits 5-Kilometer Depth By : Robert Buluma In a significant development for geothermal energy enthusiasts, drilling operations at the Banska PGP-4 well in Szaflary, Poland have reached a depth of 5 kilometers, marking a major milestone in the project's progress towards its 7-kilometer target. Since its inception, the ambitious geothermal drilling project in Szaflary has been making steady strides. As of the end of 2023, the well has successfully reached a depth of 5000 meters, uncovering promising results along the way. Notably, the well has tapped into a sizable reservoir boasting temperatures of 120 °C. The drilling will persist until it reaches the targeted depth of 7000 meters, where another aquifer is anticipated. The entire drilling endeavor is slated for completion within the first quarter of 2024. Initiated in 2019, the plans to drill a 7-kilometer geothermal well in Podhale, Szaflary aimed at gathering cruc

Eavor Goes Deeper in Geretesried In Search For Geothermal

Revolutionizing Energy Production: The Birth of Eavor Technology in Geretesried By: Robert Buluma In the picturesque town of Geretesried, nestled in the heart of Germany, a groundbreaking project is underway that promises to reshape the future of energy production as we know it. Welcome to the world of Eavor Technology – where innovation meets sustainability in a bid to tackle the pressing challenges of climate change and energy security.
