Greetings dear friends,
mixed day for #uranium stocks as general markets fell again, with major indicies headed for its biggest weekly selloff since March.The main reason for broad selloff are (again) bank stocks. Of course, Federal Reserve rising interest rates yesterday did not help as well.
When it comes to #uranium we had no significant news today. Spot price inched higher by 12c to $53.50/lb U3O8.
I expect that we will get rid of this turbulence and that next week should bring better performance for uranium stocks.

INDUSTRY NEWS
📝 Westinghouse unveils AP300 small modular reactor
Westinghouse has launched what it calls a "game-changer" AP300 small modular reactor, a scaled-down version of its AP1000 reactor, with a goal for the first one to deliver power to the grid within a decade.
How the AP300 might look

The AP300 SMR, based on the licensed and operating AP1000 pressurised light water technology, is described as an "ultra-compact, modular constructed unit that leverages the innovation and operational knowledge of the global AP1000 fleet" and will use identical AP1000 technology including "major equipment, structural components, passive safety, proven fuel and I&C systems".
Westinghouse says it is the first SMR "based on an Nth-of-a-kind operating plant" and it hopes to benefit from the design utilising its Gen III+ technology which already has regulatory approval in the USA, UK and China as well as being in compliance with European Utility Requirements.

Coalition applies for US hydrogen hub funding
📝 The Great Lakes Clean Hydrogen Hub (GLCH) coalition has submitted a full application for funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to create a nuclear-powered clean hydrogen hub to serve Ohio, Michigan, and parts of Pennsylvania and Indiana.
Industrial gases company Linde is the prime applicant on behalf of GLCH (Image: Linde)
The group's application sets out details of a USD2 billion plan to create a clean hydrogen hub which will use nuclear power from Energy Harbor's Davis-Besse plant in Ohio to produce clean hydrogen at a competitive cost.
The project has a well-defined scope, is commercially feasible, and will use proven production technologies to minimise the time required to achieve full production of more than 100 tonnes of hydrogen per day, the group said. The hydrogen it will supply will help major industries across the Midwest to decarbonise as well as serving the hydrogen needs of a growing mobility market (including trucking, transit buses, rail, aviation, and marine) and will benefit local communities through stakeholder engagement, job creation, and workforce partnerships and investments, particularly in disadvantaged communitie.

In a statement, Eletronuclear said it was "committed to reversing the embargo on the Angra 3 works, seeking a constructive dialogue with the Angra dos Reis City Hall to clarify the issues presented and find a solution that allows the resumption of activities at the construction site".
It added: "The company understands the importance of this project for the country and is committed to contributing to the sustainable development of Costa Verde in the state of Rio de Janeiro. It is essential to point out that the stoppage of the Angra 3 works has consequences that go beyond the scope of the completion of the plant, affecting the economy and the well-being of the local population. Thus, Eletronuclear wants to resume the construction of the unit as soon as possible, guaranteeing the benefits that its completion will bring to the region."
