Ucaksan is a tiny Startup with big ambitions.

Currently at 12 Employees on LinkedIn they strive to produce a manned Ultra light Aircraft in the backyard of the Bursa Uludag University.

Why Rotax? Why not TEI?

BMC likely changing direction after Tosyali takeover in mid 2021
Focus on Electric Truck.

GREAT SUPPORT FROM THE EUROPEAN COMMISION TO BMC’S ECO-FRIENDLY PROJECT​

BMC's eco-friendly project was considered worthy support of within the scope of the "Horizon Europe Programme", the world's largest civilian R&D and innovation program supported by the European Union.

05.08.2022

BMC received the highest score mark from the European Commission with its ESCALATE (EU Net Zero Future's Strengthening the Future's Zero Emissions HDVs and Logistics Intelligence) Project for clean and competitive solutions for all transportation modes under the title of climate, energy, and mobility.

BMC’s Eco-friendly Truck, Which Has 800 KM Range Will Produce Prototype

The Escalate project was planned to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels such as gas and diesel which are traditionally used in heavy commercial vehicles, by using clean energy sources and reaching the objective of zero emissions. It is the target that the eco-friendly BMC tractor, which will be produced together with all the stakeholders involved in the project, will reach a range of 800 km.

The Target is to Reach Zero Emissions with Heavy Commercial Vehicles

In this project, innovative concepts will be developed in three main areas in order to achieve zero emissions in heavy-duty commercial vehicles. These concepts allow the vehicle to have much more efficient and cost-effective infrastructure systems; It will consist of digital and artificial intelligence-based management systems that take into account the design of grid-friendly and fast charging infrastructure systems and the capacity, availability, and speed of fleets. Thus, a sustainable ecosystem will be created by reaching zero emission values in the heavy cargo transportation sector.

The Multi-Partner Global Project

The ESCALATE Project, supporting by TÜBİTAK, FEV Group and The University of Surrey, will start in January 2023.

Yeah, but what does this mean?

It means that our country, which has the richest thorium deposits in the world, is working to develop the original molten salt reactor technology that uses thorium as fuel. For more, search ''thorium molten salt reactor'' on youtube.

Actually I know that part and more but what stage does this put us on the process to a successful molten salt thorium reactor power plant?

Is it a pebble bed reactor or molten core thorium reactor ?
Design or testing phase ?
What's the power output turkey is looking for in this to make it commercially viable?

Who Is Building Nuclear Reactors?

U.S., 93 reactors generate more than 30% of the world’s nuclear power, more than any other nation. In France, nuclear plants are the main source of power, accounting for 70% of annual electricity generation.

China’s nuclear industry has expanded rapidly over the last decade. The number of reactors in China jumped from 13 in 2010 to 53 in 2021, accompanied by a roughly five-fold increase in nuclear generation capacity.

India is an outlier—its generation capacity is lesser than the UK despite having 10 more operating reactors. This is largely because 17 of India’s 22 reactors have less than 300 MWe of capacity and are considered “small”.

Overall, around 280 of the world’s 440 reactors are over 30 years old. While these reactors are still performing at high capacity, new reactors are being built to support the aging fleet

nuclear reactors under construction by country

Who Is Building Nuclear Reactors?
Nuclear power is back in the spotlight as countries look to supplement renewable energy sources with a reliable and clean source of power.

The 2010s were a decade of decline for nuclear power in the wake of the Fukushima disaster in Japan. However, the recent push for clean energy is reviving the industry with several countries building new reactors, and others restarting or extending old ones.

The above infographic uses data from the World Nuclear Association to show the top 10 countries by nuclear capacity under construction as of July 2022.

How Many Nuclear Reactors Are In the World?
Before looking at under-construction figures, it’s important to contextualize the current nuclear reactor landscape.

There are roughly 440 nuclear reactors operating worldwide, generating around 10% of the world’s electricity annually.

The Top 10 Countries Building New Reactors
The majority of new nuclear reactors are being built in Asia, with China topping the list followed by India.

China’s reliance on nuclear power is increasing as the economy transitions away from coal. With 21 reactors under construction, the country is set to expand its nuclear capacity by more than 40% before 2030. It’s also building the world’s first commercial small modular reactor (SMR), which will have the capacity to power more than 500,000 households annually.

Following China from afar is India, with eight reactors under construction that nearly double its generation capacity. While all reactors today are powered by uranium, India has an ambitious plan to develop a thorium-fueled reactor to reap its vast resources of thorium, a non-fissile radioactive material with the potential to be used as nuclear fuel.

Overall, the Asian continent (ex-Russia) accounts for 36 of the 59 reactors under construction. Meanwhile, Turkey is building four reactors including its first operational reactor, which is expected to come online in 2023.

As of July 2022, the largest under-construction reactors are in the UK with gross capacities of 1,720 MWe each. However, this may change as new constructions start with hundreds of reactors planned for construction across the globe.
