After decades of tension, Iran has agreed never to stockpile enriched uranium, marking what diplomats call the most significant breakthrough in nuclear negotiations. Peace between Iran and the United States could be just months away.
Tokyo Electric Power Company started removing nuclear fuel from a damaged Fukushima reactor this week, marking a major milestone in one of history's most challenging cleanup efforts. The work represents real progress toward making the area safe again after the 2011 tsunami disaster.
Researchers just solved a puzzle that's stumped nuclear physicists for years, creating a tool that finally matches what happens in labs. The breakthrough helps us understand how atoms swap parts during collisions.
Since the 1860s, Black family reunions have been healing broken bonds and preserving culture. What started as formerly enslaved people searching for lost relatives is now a powerful tradition keeping history alive.
For the first time in history, nuclear fusion has achieved net energy gain multiple times, transforming from theoretical physics into commercial reality. Private companies backed by billions in new funding now race to deliver clean, nearly waste-free fusion power to customers within 10 years.
Singapore is training local experts and studying advanced nuclear technology as it prepares for a potential clean energy future. The new Nuclear Energy Office is building homegrown talent to safely assess whether nuclear power could work in the dense city-state.
A groundbreaking agreement between nuclear startup Oklo and industrial giant Siemens Energy is turning advanced nuclear power from concept into reality. The partnership secures critical equipment for America's first next-generation reactor, proving clean nuclear energy can move from drawing board to deployment.
In 1989, a writer turned public outrage into action and helped shut down a Soviet testing ground where 450 nuclear bombs had exploded over 40 years. His movement inspired a UN international day against nuclear testing.
A seventh grader spent four years teaching himself nuclear physics and building a working fusion reactor at home. Aiden McMillan could become the youngest person ever to achieve nuclear fusion.
Sweden is making a dramatic energy comeback, planning to build new nuclear reactors after decades of shutdowns. Researchers are studying how nuclear power shifted from an outdated technology to a cornerstone of the country's clean energy future.
Caroline Harvey became the first defender ever selected first overall in PWHL Draft history, capping off a stellar year that included Olympic gold and tournament MVP honors. The 23-year-old star joins Vancouver alongside best friend Laila Edwards, who made history as the highest-drafted Black player in league history.
A nuclear fuel company is bringing nearly 430 high-paying jobs and more than $560 million to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in a massive expansion that positions the region as America's nuclear energy leader. The first Tennessee-made centrifuges will come online in 2029.
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are celebrating two decades since they voluntarily gave up nuclear weapons through the Semipalatinsk Treaty. In a world facing rising nuclear threats, their commitment proves regional cooperation can create lasting peace.
In a surprising shift, Nebraska communities that fought wind farms are now embracing nuclear energy. Four towns are competing to host a new nuclear plant, seeing it as cleaner and more space-efficient than renewables.
Scientists just solved one of nuclear power's biggest problems: what to do with radioactive waste. A new reactor design can turn dangerous nuclear waste into electricity while making it safe in just 300 years instead of 100,000.
Scientists recreated the extreme conditions inside a nuclear fireball and discovered that our safety models have been missing key chemical reactions. Their findings could make nuclear event predictions far more accurate.
India's Fairwood Nuclear and South Korea's SK Securities just signed a deal to bring small, clean nuclear reactors to India. The three-year partnership connects Indian innovation with Korean investment to power the country's carbon-free energy future.
Over 200 atomic bomb survivors and supporters marched to the United Nations headquarters in New York, carrying a powerful message of peace ahead of a crucial nuclear treaty review. Their voices, representing 80 years of resilience, are inspiring a new generation to continue the fight for a nuclear-free world.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker just unveiled an ambitious clean energy plan that doubles down on nuclear power to fight rising electricity costs. The state lifted its ban on new nuclear reactors and is investing hundreds of millions to make clean energy affordable for every family.
