Energy firm newcleo says it will suspend UK lead-cooled fast reactor development

LONDON, July 30 (Reuters) - Energy firm newcleo said on Wednesday it would suspend its programme to develop lead-cooled fast reactors (LFR) in Britain and substantially wind down its UK activities. LFRs are a type of small modular nuclear reactor technology which are smaller than conventional nuclear reactors. The firm, established in and headquartered in Britain, said it had planned to develop up to four such reactors in the UK, producing a total of 800 megawatts, enough to power around 1.6 million homes, and representing around 4 billion pounds ($5 billion) of investment.

Lithuania coalition partner threatens to quit unless PM resigns

VILNIUS, July 30 (Reuters) - A junior party in Lithuania's government on Wednesday threatened to quit the ruling coalition unless Social Democratic Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas resigns by August 18 over business ties to a company owned by his sister-in-law. Without the centre-left For Lithuania party, which won 14 seats in the 2024 election, the Social Democrats and another junior partner, Nemunas Dawn, would be left with only 71 seats, the bare minimum required for a majority in the 141-seat assembly, and vulnerable to any further defections. The prime minister's office said Paluckas was on holiday, and declined to comment further. He has denied any wrongdoing. Opposition parties in the Baltic country have criticised Paluckas for business dealings in which a company he co-owns sold electric batteries to one owned by his sister-in-law in a deal financed by a government agency. Last week, the sister-in-law's company said it would decline the funding from the government, but denied wrongdoing. It said it made purchases from Paluckas' business following an open tender. Saulius Skvernelis, the leader of For Lithuania, on Wednesday gave the prime minister a deadline to resign by the next coalition leaders' meeting, which is scheduled for August 18. "(If Paluckas stays) we will not remain in the coalition," Skvernelis told reporters.
