Nuclear energy has surged back as the preferred power source for AI data centers amid exploding electricity demand. Tech giants like Meta, Amazon, and Google have committed tens of billions to nuclear deals and small modular reactors.…

Hegseth's remarks came hours after Trump emerged from a two-hour Situation Room meeting to make a "final determination" on the framework, even as Iran's Foreign Ministry said the deal "has not yet been finalised".

The US claimed to have 'obliterated' Iran’s nuclear capabilities during its June 2025 strikes, but a large part of the highly enriched uranium is believed to have survived. This remains the biggest US concern amid the ceasefire negotiations.

The scale of the construction points to a sweeping expansion of hardened infrastructure ​designed to protect and operate China's land-based nuclear forces.

The U.S. Navy is planning to use the nuclear-powered U.S.S. Gerald R. Ford to help charge Naval Station Norfolk, in an effort to provide a reliable source of power for energy resilience and mission assurance.

Rwanda turns to Russia for nuclear training and research, advancing ambitions in technology, healthcare and diplomacy.

The US president met his advisers, after officials confirmed the US and Iran had agreed a framework of a deal.

Seoul's plans for nuclear-powered vessels come as regional rivals ramp up undersea capabilities, raising concerns over a widening military buildup.

Tehran denies US president's suggestion that agreement announced by White House includes nuclear concessions; deal includes $300B fund for Iran's reconstruction, sources tell NYT

I think the CANDU design is pretty cool. At least as a stepping stone to a Molten Salt Thorium reactor fleet (Imho) A big down side to the CANDU reactor is it needs a large ($$) amount of D²O for the moderator.…

Hello, I am a materials engineering undergraduate 1st year student, and it's been years since I was interested in the nuclear industry. My first year has been a bit of a disaster; I failed 2 courses out of 10 (Algebra and Calculus II), but my GPA remains…

Was responding to a post on another thread, and it got me thinking: Do we have an example of a modern Nuclear site / system that adheres to all safety regulations, for less money, in less time than renewables and storage with all of its waste completely…

I am looking to perform what is essentially a neutron radiation shielding study, and I am wanting to get some advice as to which simulation program is the best to use.…

quick industry context for anyone tracking the global fast breeder landscape: india's 500 MWe sodium-cooled prototype fast breeder reactor (PFBR) at kalpakkam attained first criticality on april 6 2026 at 8:25 PM IST.…

after the PFBR criticality thread a couple days ago, spent some time digging into what actually determines whether breeders scale from one working reactor to energy independence. the answer surprised me. the reactor physics works fine.…

Hi, nuclear engineer here. I see an enormous amount of money these days going into nuclear startups. Most (all?) of them do not even have a demonstrator and they sell technologies that imho could not be viable at all from an engineering standpoint.…

Fusion energy — tapping the power of the stars — is on the cusp of getting new federal rules. Why it matters: Regulators increasingly view fusion as fundamentally safer than nuclear fission, helping to pave the way for a substantially simpler permitting…

Tehran has time on its side and it operates on the realisation that Trump’s military threats lack follow-through

Iran and the United States are in discussions to extend their ceasefire so as to start negotiations on issues including Tehran's nuclear program.
