Last Energy Announces Partnership with NATO in the Field of Micro-Nuclear Energy
Last Energy has announced a partnership with the NATO Energy Security Center of Excellence (ENSEC COE) to jointly research military applications of micro-nuclear energy technologies and explore the possibility of their future deployment at NATO military facilities. According to the terms of the partnership, the organizations agree to work on joint projects on the use of nuclear energy at NATO military facilities and in operations.
According to Last Energy, they will conduct joint research with the Center on the use of microreactors at NATO military bases and facilities, adding that the research scope is currently being specified. In addition, Last Energy will act as an industry advisor to the Center on other nuclear energy projects, as well as explore the possibility of actual deployment of microreactors on NATO bases.
The Center’s partnership with Last Energy is part of NATO’s broader approach to prioritizing energy security. In addition to significantly reducing the cost and construction time, micro-nuclear power plants have minimal water requirements and can be deployed almost anywhere, providing a direct connection to the grid and thus allowing the operator to bypass traditional capacity constraints and instability of costs for electricity.
