Last week we were honoured to welcome a Lithuanian delegation to the ENEA Brasimone Research Centre in Italy. We hosted Vice Minister of Energy Gabriel Gorbačevski and Linas Bauzys, CEO of Altra (Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant operating under the name Altra), together with colleagues from the Ministry of Energy and Altra.   During the visit, the delegation saw the primary vessel of our PRECURSOR demonstrator, currently being installed at Brasimone – a 10 MWth non-nuclear testbed and a tangible step in scaling up our lead-cooled fast reactor technology.   The visit builds on the non-binding memorandum of understanding signed in July 2025 with Altra, which establishes a framework to evaluate a potential collaboration. Under it, the parties are carrying out a staged pre-feasibility study to assess the potential deployment of newcleo's LFR technology in Lithuania, including site evaluation, the potential management of spent nuclear fuel through MOX, and High RES grid integration, subject to the outcome of each phase.   A reflection of what European collaboration can look like: shared ambition, shared technology, and a shared future. 🌍⚡   #newcleo #LFR #AdvancedNuclear #PRECURSOR #Lithuania #CleanEnergy #EuropeanEnergy
