As directed in Executive Order 14302 Sec 3(c), the Department of Energy is creating a program "to dispose of surplus plutonium by processing and making it available to industry in a form that can be utilized for the fabrication of fuel for advanced nuclear technologies". Reuters.

This quote from an Axios story about accelerating process of building test reactors provides a "teachable moment.". "The administration is "listening to the startup guys who want to say that the regulator is the problem, when most of the mature players in the industry are not.

It's not often that a #nuclear energy book makes it to the top 10 of a best seller book list – unless that list is one of the many special category lists that are published. As of 8/20/2025, @isabelleboemeke's Rad Future is #8 on the USA Today weekly list of the top 150 books by

How can @AaloAtomics possibly achieve its goal of building a full scale demonstration of its commercial nuclear reactor product by July 4, 2026? .That's less than a year from now and less than 4 years from the company's founding date – when it had just two employees.

The nuclear waste issue is alive and well. It continues to be used as a tool for slowing or halting nuclear energy development - even for projects in the pre-study phase. Let's continue talking about recycling while also demonstrating that we can isolate the material forever if.

Aalo is a fast-moving company is what has been known as a staid industry for my entire professional life. They're changing paradigms but maintaining safe engineering and operations. Read @MattLoszak's thread to learn how he and his teammates plan to change the world. Disc:.

I wonder if any of the micro reactor developers have had conversations with the owners of operating plants about the potential replacement of diesel backup generators in coming decades?. The topic could also stimulate interesting conversations with the regulator.

The U.S. electricity supply system is sometimes called the largest machine ever invented. It's full of components that can take decades to plan, build and connect. Many parts of the system charge prices that are determined by a complex legal/regulatory process with documentation

Contrary to repeated reports, China has TWO small modular reactors operating. The two reactors are identical 250 MWth high temperature, helium cooled pebble beds with online refueling. Both provide steam to the same 210 MWe power turbine. HTR-PM at Shidao Bay.

Joshua Antonini of @MackinacCenter has been doing his reading. @MeredithAngwin's Shorting the Grid helped him explain the costly impacts of unpredictable power sources. Great example of effects of pushing "all of the above.".Some power sources are better for grid than others.

"All of the above" types of energy is not the right answer for the future. It is the feel-good answer, but not an answer that leads to reliability. (Yeah, I'm quoted here.).‘All of the above’ is the wrong answer

We’re proud to share that @Equinix, the world leader in digital infrastructure, has signed a deal and submitted deposits for the purchase of 20 Kaleidos microreactors. This is not only the largest deal to date for us, it’s the largest deal to date for any mass-manufactured.
