Urenco Isotopes Collaborates on EMIS Test Facility to Strengthen Europe's Enriched Lanthanide Isotope Supply Chain
On July 28, 2026, Urenco Isotopes announced a collaboration with RI Research Instruments to advance the construction of a dedicated Electromagnetic Isotope Separation (EMIS) test facility, aiming to strengthen the future European supply chain for enriched lanthanide elements and meet the growing demand for high-purity stable isotopes in scientific research and potential medical isotope applications. Lanthanides are rare earth metals, and their isotopes may be used in the future for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Currently, reliable sources of high-purity lanthanide stable isotopes remain limited, with the supply chain concentrated among a few producers, and Europe's local supply capacity is relatively insufficient. Under the collaboration arrangement, RI Research Instruments...

Shanghai Petrochemical's Black High-Density Polyethylene Special Material Obtains Nuclear Power Application Qualification
On July 28, Shanghai Petrochemical disclosed that its self-developed black high-density polyethylene special material YGH041TLSH has passed the certification of the American Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI). After passing this certification, Shanghai Petrochemical has become the first domestic supplier of high-end polyethylene pipe materials with nuclear power application qualifications, marking a breakthrough in China's long-term reliance on imports for polyethylene pipe raw materials used in nuclear power water supply and drainage systems. Nuclear power pipelines are one of the important supporting systems of nuclear power plants, with significantly higher requirements for material reliability and safety compared to ordinary municipal pipelines. Taking the 813 mm large-diameter pipeline used in the cooling system of a nuclear power plant as an example, its wall thickness is more than twice that of ordinary pipelines, and the design life requirement reaches...
