2025: The year in nuclear
As Nuclear News has done since 2022, we have compiled a review of the nuclear news that filled headlines and sparked conversations in the year just completed. Departing from the chronological format of years past, we open with the most impactful news of 2025: a survey of actions and orders of the Trump administration that are reshaping nuclear research, development, deployment, and commercialization. We then highlight some of the top news in nuclear restarts, new reactor testing programs, the fuel supply chain and broader fuel cycle, and more.

The "Take A Look Back" panel session will focus on the progress in D&D over the last 50 years of the industry to back when first formal D&D projects (early to mid-1970s Piqua Rx D&D, Elk River Reactor D&D, Yankee Rowe NPP D&D and other DOE projects, among others, as examples) were undertaken. Seasoned panelists and experts will address changes to the D&D projects' typical course and how all the various aspects have changed, based on project experiences and their experiences. Panelists -- many of whom worked through that entire life cycle of 1975-2024 in various technical areas -- will address topics such as waste management, project management and project approaches, technologies selection and availability, stakeholder engagement and its evolution and facility/site characterization and release.
