Group Projects 100-GW Rise in Global Nuclear Power Capacity Across Next Decade A new report from GlobalData, a data and analytics group, projects global nuclear power capacity will hit 494 GW by 2035. The group said capacity gains will be tied to advancements in deployments of small modular reactors (SMRs), along with the continuing worldwide shift to cleaner forms of energy.

DOE Releases More Funding to Reopen Palisades Nuclear Plant Energy Secretary Chris Wright on April 22 announced the release of the third loan disbursement to Holtec for the reopening of the Palisades Nuclear Plant in Michigan. Canada Approves First Grid-Scale SMR Construction at Darlington The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has given Ontario Power Generation (OPG) the green light to begin building a 300-MW GE-Hitachi BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) at the Darlington New…

In Case You Missed It America's Nuclear Renaissance: How the TVA Can Lead Our Energy Future You may have heard of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), our nation’s largest public utility and source of cheap, clean, and reliable electricity for 10 million people. You may even…

TVA’s Clinch River Nuclear Power Project: Where Things Stand Today The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has for many years been evaluating emerging nuclear technologies, including small modular reactors, as part of technology innovation efforts aimed at developing the energy system… Dow and X-energy Advance Landmark Nuclear Project in Texas With Construction Permit Filing Advanced reactor developer X-energy and global materials science company Dow have submitted a construction permit application (CPA) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a first-of-its-kind small modular reactor…

Radiant Selected by DOE to Receive Fuel for First Kaleidos Reactor Test A company working to mass produce portable nuclear microreactors said its has accepted its selection by the U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE) to receive high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel for the first test of Kaleidos, the group's reactor design. DOE Allocates First Round of HALEU to Five U.S. Advanced Nuclear Reactor Developers In a critical step aimed at bolstering advanced reactor development and their domestic nuclear fuel readiness, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued its first round of allocations for…

Why We’re Suing the Nuclear Regulatory Commission—and Still Believe in Nuclear Regulation At Deep Fission, we’re taking a radically different approach to nuclear energy: smaller, safer, faster to deploy—and located a mile underground. By placing reactors deep beneath the Earth’s surface, we… DOE’s Loan Programs Office Offers Game-Changing Possibilities As the presidential inauguration loomed on the horizon in January this year, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Loan Programs Office (LPO) published a “year-in-review” article, highlighting accomplishments from 2024…

What We’re Watching The Importance of Tax Credits for Nuclear In a political environment that is increasingly polarizing, there isn’t much that Democrats and Republicans fully agree on—but the importance of nuclear energy is one of them. Our electricity demands are higher now than they’ve ever been and are only going to be increasing with a surge in the use of AI and data centers. The 94 licensed nuclear power reactors in the United States generate almost 20% of the nation’s electricity. Because of financial pressures, 13 U.S. reactors were forced to close between the years of 2013 and 2022, and plans to build several others were put on hold. We’re in a new era now, and demand for nuclear is… Read more by clicking here. Sufficient Uranium Resources Exist, However Investments Needed to Sustain High Nuclear Energy Growth Sufficient uranium resources exist to support both the continued use of nuclear power and its significant growth through 2050 and beyond. However, timely investments in new exploration, mining operations and processing techniques will be essential to ensure that uranium becomes available to the market when needed. These are among the main findings of… Read more by clicking here.
