The U.S. in recent days suspended licenses for nuclear equipment suppliers to sell to China’s power plants, according to four people familiar with the matter, as the two countries engage in a damaging trade war. The suspensions were sent to companies by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the people said, and affect export licenses for …
South Africa is lifting its Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) out of care and maintenance, Electricity and Energy Minister Dr Kgosienstsho Ramokgopa has confirmed, almost in passing. He was delivering the keynote address at the Enlit Africa 2025 conference, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. The PBMR is a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR). It was …
Meta’s Nuclear Deal Underscores the Looming Gap for AI’s Power Needs Meta Platforms Inc.’s flashy deal this week for nuclear power was just the latest sign of the technology industry’s need for more energy — and fast. And while the top US reactor companies are eager to sign more contracts, the big question remains: Will …
The company has selected high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), using tri-structural isotropic – or TRISO – particle fuel, with a power output of about 25 MWe. It said it selected this small modular reactor (SMR) technology “due to their inherently safe characteristics”. In the first year, Allseas aims to finalise initial design studies for offshore and …
The world’s first commercial modular small nuclear reactor, Linglong-1 (ACP100) – hailed as a “nuclear power bank” – is expected to contribute significantly to China’s dual carbon goals. In May, under the clear blue skies at the Hainan Nuclear Power Co.Ltd（HNPC） in South China’s Hainan Province, Linglong-1 was operating in an orderly manner. As a …

The experiments could accelerate the deployment of advanced reactors by testing new capabilities that may help lower costs, increase safety and lifespan Underground on Purdue University’s campus is the only nuclear reactor in Indiana. Although used just for research purposes — the total energy the reactor generates powers about the equivalent of 10 microwaves — Purdue …
The selection of 16 sites located on Department of Energy (DOE) lands for the rapid construction of data centers and energy generation underlines the rising importance of AI demand for the U.S. energy sector. The sites offer “in-place energy infrastructure with the ability to fast-track permitting for new energy generation such as nuclear,” the DOE said in …
