The U.S.’s last big nuclear-power project came in more than $16 billion over budget and seven years behind schedule. Now, the U.S. government wants to give the AP1000 another shot. President Trump is ...

To meet its massive energy demand for its AI and cloud services, Amazon is investing in nuclear power as a cleaner option. After signing agreements to help build nuclear energy projects last year, the ...

With concrete already being poured, this startup’s molten salt–cooled reactors could be the first to deliver cheaper, safer nuclear power. Like many new nuclear startups, Kairos promises a path to ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

If nuclear energy lobbies were as effective as petroleum lobbies, there'd be a reactor to power every home in the union. At least, that's the image they'd surely like to convey. However, one project ...

MIT researchers have developed a technique that enables real-time, 3D monitoring of corrosion, cracking, and other material failure processes inside a nuclear reactor environment. This could allow ...

Holtec International proposes building four small modular reactors (SMRs), a solar field, and battery storage at the former Oyster Creek nuclear plant site in Lacey. Holtec's CEO claims the SMRs are ...
