It said they would \u201canalyse the options for GEH\u2019s Prism technology\u201d in collaboration with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), which owns the civil plutonium on which Prism\u2019s fuel would be based.<\/p>\n<p>Iberdrola cited its ownership and operating experience with seven nuclear power plants in Spain in which it has interests, as well as the work of its engineering subsidiary Iberdrola Ingenier\u00eda. But Iberdrola has not yet decided on the scope of its involvement in Prism in terms of building or operating the plant, \u201cIt\u2019s the beginning of a nuclear project which will see different development phases\u201d, spokesperson Elena Gonzalez Gallego told <em>World Nuclear News<\/em>, \u201cInvolvement in each phase will depend on the company\u2019s strategy at each given time\u201d. GEH\u2019s announcement said the MoU enables it to discuss with Iberdrola \u201cthe potential roles and business arrangements\u2026 in developing the Prism proposal\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzalez Gallego told <em>WNN <\/em>Iberdrola\u2019s move to get involved in Prism was \u201cunrelated\u201d to the \u201cstrategic decision\u201d to sell its 50% stake in the NuGen project but did not elaborate further. Toshiba bought Iberdrola\u2019s stake for \u00a385\u00a0million ($139\u00a0million) in January and now leads a 60\u201340\u00a0partnership with GDF Suez to build AP1000\u00a0units at Moorside, adjacent to Sellafield.<\/p>\n<h4>Plutonium options<\/h4>\n<p>Wanting to dispose of over 112\u00a0tonnes of civil plutonium that belongs to the British state, the NDA\u2019s officially preferred option is to combine it with uranium in mixed-oxide fuel to be sold to companies running existing reactors. However, it could also be burned as fuel in a Prism reactor, or in an Enhanced Candu-6\u00a0reactor as has been separtely proposed by Candu Energy.<\/p>\n<p>In January this year the NDA rated all these options as \u2019credible\u2019 but concluded: \u201cCurrently, we believe there is insufficient understanding of the options to confidently move into implementation\u201d. It said it would undertake technical studies over the following 1\u20132\u00a0years \u201cto establish a consistent level of understanding of risks and uncertainties for each option\u201d. The NDA noted that no \u201cperfect\u201d solution exists and that a \u201cmulti-track approach\u201d may offer the best value for money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spanish utility Iberdrola will work with GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) to develop a proposal to build a Prism integral fast reactor in the UK, but is yet to decide the scope of its involvement either as an engineer or operator of the potential plant.
