From France’s legacy to America’s momentum, experts warn that without decisive leadership, China and Russia will dominate the nuclear-AI economy. Nuclear energy has moved from being a quiet constant to the centerpiece of a global race. Nations increasingly recognize that sovereignty—economic, technological, and cultural—depends on securing clean, stable, and independent sources of power. COMMENTARY Myrto […]

Governors from 11 states, working through the National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO), have launched the Advanced Nuclear First Mover Initiative to propel a more standardized, scalable approach to deliver advanced nuclear power capacity rapidly, safely and cost-effectively to ensure consumers and businesses across the U.S. have reliable and affordable electricity. The 11 states […]

GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) and Samsung C&T, a leading construction and engineering company, announced a strategic alliance to advance deployment of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) in strategic global markets outside of North America. The two companies on October 7 said they will focus their collective efforts on developing the supply chain […]

For decades, renewables like solar and wind have been hailed as the answer to our looming climate and infrastructure challenges. However, persistent issues have surfaced—especially with surging demand from AI data centers and broad electrification. Energy Secretary Chris Wright recently pointed to analysis wind and solar only supply about 3% of raw energy globally—underscoring his […]

Google announced the first phase of a $4-billion data center project in West Memphis, Arkansas, an initiative that state officials have called one of the largest economic investments in state history. The facility, located near the Arkansas-Tennessee state line, will be powered by Entergy using solar power and existing generation in the area.

I’m lucky to learn firsthand about some of the world’s most cutting-edge technologies. I’ve seen artificial intelligence ace an AP biology test, long before AI became an everyday tool. I’ve seen genetically modified mosquitoes that stop malaria in its tracks. I’ve seen geothermal wells that go 15,000 feet below the surface of the earth.   But […]

As energy demand intensifies across data centers, industrial clusters, and electrification efforts, small modular reactors offer a scalable path forward. Yet, their success depends on preparing the ground—literally and figuratively—for rapid deployment.

Two business conglomerates with interests across Asia announced a partnership to build six geothermal power plants in Indonesia.

Framatome and Standard Nuclear Inc. have formed a joint venture (JV) to supply commercial quantities of Tri-structural Isotropic (TRISO) particles and proprietary advanced reactor products to the nuclear power industry. The  collaboration announced September 30 marks a significant advancement in Western nuclear fuel supply chain development, leveraging the expertise and robust infrastructure of two industry […]

Fusion is the only technology that can deliver continuous, dispatchable power 24/7/365. Not only is fusion clean, sustainable, and cost-effective, but fusion plants can also be built into existing urban and industrial locations, plugging directly into today’s grid, significantly lowering development time and deployment costs.
