These experimental ship designs rely on smaller and potentially safer molten salt nuclear reactors. Massive artificial intelligence data centers and their extreme energy damages are fuelling renewed interest in nuclear power. But it turns out one of the more impactful uses of this atomic-age technology may not come from Three Mile Island or the American heartland. Instead, the hulls of giant cargo ships …
Lower Saxony blames Berlin; Berlin points to the European Commission A subsidiary of Russia’s Rosatom will provide the technology, licences and equipment to produce hexagonal nuclear fuel rods in Germany in a joint venture with state-owned Électricité de France (EDF), extending the Kremlin’s role in the EU nuclear supply chain. Lingen, a town of fewer …
Illinois has opened the door to a new era of nuclear energy generation, but a question remains: Where would new nuclear power plants go? It’s an issue that Gov.

Framatome’s nuclear fuel manufacturing facility in Richland, Washington, achieved a major licensing milestone with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of a license amendment request (LAR) enabling the site to manufacture fuel with uranium enrichment levels up to 10%. This approval expands domestic capacity for advanced reactor fuel and supports the acceleration of deployment …
U.S. Sens. Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Ted Budd (R-N.C.) introduced legislation that provides a roadmap for the Responsible Use of Small Modular Reactor Technology (FIRST) Act, a US State Department’s program. “Nuclear energy is a source of clean and abundant power, and its growth in the U.S. and around the world will lower costs for consumers …
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) startup authorization allows Oklo to load nuclear fuel, conduct startup testing, and proceed toward first criticality. In just over 10 months, Oklo progressed from groundbreaking to receiving DOE startup authorization for its first reactor at the Groves site. During that period, Oklo built the reactor facility, established the operating …
German authorities have approved a controversial project allowing a subsidiary of French nuclear company Framatome to manufacture Russian-designed nuclear fuel in partnership with Russia’s state-owned nuclear energy company Rosatom. According to French media, the Environment Ministry of Lower Saxony authorized Advanced Nuclear Fuels (ANF) to expand production at its facility in Lingen. The project is …
