China connected 27 nuclear reactors in under a decade while the U.S. built just two, creating the backbone for a renewable energy future. The reactors don't generate most of China's power, but they're the secret ingredient keeping wind and solar from crashing the grid.
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.
The retail giant just signed its first nuclear power agreement, securing 176 MW of clean electricity from an existing Illinois facility starting in 2029. This groundbreaking deal will power Walmart's new high-tech distribution center while keeping energy costs low for shoppers.
India just ended six decades of government-only nuclear power, welcoming private companies and international partners to help supercharge clean energy growth. A major U.S. delegation arrives this month to explore partnerships that could transform how the world's most populous nation powers its future.
America is building its first nuclear reactor-powered interplanetary spacecraft, designed to reach Mars faster than ever before. The Space Reactor-1 Freedom could revolutionize how we travel between planets.
A revolutionary power plant in Texas will run on both natural gas and nuclear energy, solving two of the biggest challenges facing clean energy today. The innovative design cuts construction time by 93% while delivering flexible, reliable electricity.
French nuclear reactors have completely reversed their operating pattern in just six years. They now power down at midday when European solar energy peaks, marking a historic shift in how Europe's energy grid works.
Compact nuclear reactors the size of two soccer fields are moving from submarines to communities, promising clean energy in half the construction time of traditional plants. China and Russia already have two operating, with more countries racing to build these mini power sources.
South Korea's renewable energy success is creating a positive problem: too much clean power. Nuclear plants are reducing output to balance the grid as solar energy surges.
A seven-month-old company just secured $10 million to build small nuclear reactors on barges that can deliver clean energy to ports and coastal communities. The floating power plants could light up 15,000 homes while producing zero transport emissions.
A Tennessee construction worker turned Uber driver just graduated with an electrical engineering degree through a 100% tuition scholarship. Now he's aiming for a career bringing clean nuclear energy to America's power grid.
Sweden has found the cheapest path to meet its surging electricity demand: expanding nuclear power and onshore wind farms. By 2045, the nation aims to double its electricity supply while keeping emissions at net zero.
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.
Crystal clear waters near a nuclear power plant in southern China now host thriving pearl farms, proving clean energy can create unexpected opportunities. This innovative pairing is reshaping how the world thinks about sustainable development.
A groundbreaking study introduces a new way to measure energy costs and finds renewable energy is dramatically cheaper than nuclear power when you count the full picture. The research could reshape how countries plan their clean energy future.
After rainfall in Austria raised the Danube River by 19 centimeters, Hungary's Paks Nuclear Power Plant is bringing its second turbine back online, more than doubling its electricity output. The good news comes just a week after historic low water levels forced three of four reactor units to shut down.
The Port of Long Beach just partnered with the federal government to develop floating nuclear reactors that could power ports and data centers with zero emissions. The technology could transform how coastal communities and ships get their energy, starting in a state that banned nuclear plants 50 years ago.
A softball-sized satellite carrying a pencil eraser-sized nuclear battery just made history by becoming the first commercial spacecraft cleared to fly with nuclear power. The real breakthrough isn't the tiny amount of electricity it makes, but the regulatory door it opens for an entire industry.
Vermont's governor is supporting a bill that could bring nuclear energy back to the state, aiming to cut electricity costs and speed up clean energy goals. The proposal would rename the state's renewable energy standard to include zero-emission nuclear power alongside solar and wind.
America is taking a giant leap toward permanent lunar living by developing nuclear reactors that could power moon bases by 2030. NASA and the Department of Energy just formalized their partnership to make reliable energy on the moon a reality.
