Sellafield's ‘intolerable risks’ threaten to push decommissioning bill past £136bn

3 days ago | eandt.theiet.org | Jack Loughran

Decommissioning Sellafield nuclear plant is not happening fast enough, and could add further costs to a project that is already estimated to cost £136bn, MPs have said. A report from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) found that Sellafield Ltd has missed most of its annual targets for retrieving waste from several buildings on the site, including the Magnox Swarf Storage Silo (MSSS).
Meta strikes 20-year deal to power AI data centres with nuclear energy

4 days ago | eandt.theiet.org | Jack Loughran

Meta has signed a 20-year deal with a nuclear plant to buy electricity that will power the data centres behind its AI efforts. Constellation Energy, which owns nuclear plants across the US, will sell the output of the Illinois-based Clinton Clean Energy Center to Meta from June 2027. Nuclear energy provides consistent, reliable and high-capacity power, so it is particularly useful for keeping the lights on at data centres.

The British Army is ramping up its investment in modern weaponry such as drones and lasers as part of a broad revamp of the UK’s defence capabilities. The Strategic Defence Review (SDR) aims to make the Army “10x more lethal” by combining more people and armoured capability with air defence, communications, AI, software, long-range weapons and land drone swarms.
Sports video piracy constitutes ‘industrial scale theft’, report finds

5 days ago | eandt.theiet.org | Tanya Weaver

A report from media analysts Enders has found that big tech is “clearly unwilling” to address the surge of pirated streaming of football matches and other premium TV. Sports broadcasting is big business, and broadcasters spend billions securing rights to live games. For instance, at the end of 2023, Sky Sports secured a record £6.7bn deal to broadcast Premier League football matches in the UK to the end of the 2028–29 season. To watch these matches, fans have to pay a high subscription fee.
UK’s new industrial strategy could be derailed by high energy prices, manufacturers say

5 days ago | eandt.theiet.org | Jack Loughran

Britain’s manufacturers have said the government’s upcoming Industrial Strategy will be “fatally flawed” if it fails to tackle the high energy costs faced by the sector. According to Make UK, which represents the sector, industrial energy costs in the UK are currently four times as high as the US and 46% above the global average. Last year, UK Steel highlighted how high prices had crippled domestic steel producers, which are paying as much as 50% more than competitors in France and Germany.
New law to overhaul UK airspace promises quicker, lower-emission flights

6 days ago | eandt.theiet.org | Tanya Weaver

A significant overhaul of UK airspace to modernise flight paths will be implemented under new government plans. The government has announced the launch of the UK Airspace Design Service (UKADS), which is tasked with redesigning flight paths in the skies above the country. UKADS will be fully operational by the end of the year and is being run by the National Air Traffic Services (NATS). Martin Rolfe, CEO of NATS, said: “The UK’s airspace network is one of the busiest and most complex in the world.
At-risk telecare users urged to contact telecoms providers ahead of digital roll-out

6 days ago | eandt.theiet.org | Tanya Weaver

Landline providers have launched a campaign to ensure that more than two million people are not “left behind” in the UK’s shift to digital. The telecommunications industry is currently turning off the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), the technology underpinning the landline network. By 31 January 2027, the PSTN will be fully retired across the UK and the switch from analogue to digital or IP (internet protocol) services will be complete.
Vodafone and Three finalise merger after CMA probe, promising £11bn 5G investment

6 days ago | eandt.theiet.org | Jack Loughran

Vodafone and Three have completed their merger two years after initial proposals triggered a lengthy investigation by the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). The combined business, named VodafoneThree, will host more than 27 million users – making it Britain’s biggest network and reducing the number of competing companies in the sector from four to three. The CMA originally halted the deal over concerns that reduced competition could negatively impact consumers.
Recycled glass and construction waste turned into high-performance cement - study

1 week ago | eandt.theiet.org | Tanya Weaver

Researchers in Japan have created a cement-free soil solidifier from recycled glass and construction waste, reducing landfill and carbon emissions. Producing cement, the key ingredient of concrete, generates around 2.5 billion tonnes of CO every year – about 8% of the global total. When producing clinker – a precursor to cement – the calcining process converts calcium carbonate to calcium oxide, releasing carbon dioxide.
UK braces for future droughts by fast-tracking its first new reservoirs in decades

1 week ago | eandt.theiet.org | Jack Loughran

The government is fast-tracking the construction of two new reservoirs as part of plans to defend the UK’s water supplies from the possibility of climate change-induced droughts. Reservoirs, which collect and store water, are essential to keep water supply reliable and consistent even during dry weather. However, according to the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, no new reservoirs have been delivered since 1992.
