The partnership secures critical equipment for America's first next-generation reactor, proving clean nuclear energy can move from drawing board to deployment.
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.
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.
Malaysia's only nuclear research reactor has powered peaceful innovation for 44 years without a single safety incident. The facility is training scientists, producing medical treatments, and preparing the nation for next-generation nuclear technology.
Thirteen years after the devastating tsunami, the town of Futaba welcomed 140 international experts to share lessons learned from the nuclear disaster. The workshop signals growing hope as the community rebuilds and shapes the future of nuclear safety worldwide.
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.
Ethiopian researchers are earning top honors at international nuclear energy forums as the nation prepares to build its first nuclear power plant. Two young scientists stood out among 700 delegates from 85 countries, signaling Ethiopia's rising role in Africa's clean energy future.
