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 status of experiments with radio-frequency (rf) heating of fusion devices and the existing plans for the next round of rf heating experiments were surveyed as the basis for an rf R&D program plan for the U.S. Department of Energy. These data are presented in tabular form, with an emphasis on the technological requirements for rf sources and transmission systems. Data for major plasma containment devices in the United States were gathered directly. Data for international devices were principally taken from published literature. The data represent the status of these experiments as of January 1, 1983.
