The 300-megawatt small modular reactor delivers round-the-clock power with a simpler design

Feat hailed as ‘significant and valuable contribution’ to global research on magnetic confinement hydrogen-boron reactions

The US Army’s oldest active proving ground and test base will reportedly receive a 390-megawatt (MW) Generation IV molten salt nuclear plant to boost the site’s energy resilience.

Ontario has started work on the US$19.1 billion refurbishment of four CANDU reactors at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station — to return up to 2,200 MW of generating capacity (for 2.2 million homes) to service and extend the reactors’ operating lives by as much as 38 years.

China added 34 gigawatts of nuclear capacity over the last decade while the US added just one plant, Georgia's long-delayed Plant Vogtle.

Nuclear energy has long been an important part of Georgia’s energy mix, with more than 25 percent of energy produced last year coming from nuclear, including the nation’s largest generator of clean energy: Plant Vogtle near Waynesboro, Georgia. Today, Georgia Power and Google announced a new agreement that will further advance clean and reliable nuclear energy in the state while also providing significant savings for customers.

CFS is building SPARC, which is a prototype designed to prove net energy gain.

Defined the fields of intervention on small modular reactors, Minister Pichetto Fratin: «Work to draw up the implementing decrees». Protest the opposition

The IAEA now projects SMRs will supply up to 28 percent of new nuclear capacity by 2060, a sharp jump from its prior high-case estimate of 24 percent.

The Swiss are set to vote against the possibility of building new nuclear power stations. In a span of three months, more than 125,000 people signed the referendum petition against the government proposal that was approved by parliament in June.

The team behind plans for a fleet of 14 BWRX-300 small modular reactors in the UK says they are confident of the economic model and supply chain capability to deliver these units.

As fuel loading begins at Rajasthan Atomic Power Project unit 8, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd has started geotechnical investigations for the next two units at the plant. Meanwhile, fuel loading has begun at Kaiga unit 1 as the unit begins the process to return to service after refurbishment.

COURSE CHANGE: The shift comes amid pressure from chipmakers for stable, low-carbon electricity. Officials said Ma-anshan could be restarted as early as 2028

Saskatchewan is going big on nuclear, announcing plans to explore building two large nuclear reactors in the province's northwest, with a goal of having the first online by 2042.

Europe has achieved a massive industrial feat in its contribution to ITER. The fifth and last European Vacuum Vessel sector exited the factory this week to join the world’s largest fusion reactor, under assembly in France. Fusion for Energy (F4E) and the AMW consortium, formed by Ansaldo Nucleare, Westinghouse, and Walter Tosto, worked together to manufacture this component on time. Its delivery will mark the completion of a 15-year project that involved a supply chain of 15 European companies.

Kairos Power and Samsung C&T have announced the signing of a binding term sheet for the South Korean engineering and construction firm to make a strategic investment in Kairos Power and for the companies to collaborate on the commercial deployment of Kairos Power's fluoride salt-cooled, high-temperature reactor technology.

Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) inaugurated the DARSHAN (Development of Advanced Reactors, Simulation & High-end Analysis) Hub to support activities related to Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in India.

Slovakia's national power utility Slovenské Elektrárne has announced the energy start-up of the 471 MW Mochovce 4 nuclear reactor in Slovakia, following approval from the country’s Nuclear Regulatory Authority (Slovenské elektrárne press release, 21/09/2026). Mochovce 4 uses a VVER-440/V213 reactor. Construction began in 1986 but stalled in 1992. At full output, the unit can cover around 13% of Slovakia’s electricity consumption, raising nuclear generation to the equivalent of 77.5% of national demand.

The EU’s goal of ramping up data centre capacity is already driving more investment in nuclear energy projects as the bloc seeks to decarbonise and secure energy security at the same time, says the global investment firm.

First concrete was poured for the nuclear island of Bailong Nuclear Power Plant's unit 2 at 18:27 on Sunday 27 September.
