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 DITE tokamak has a bundle divertor capable of operating in the maximum toroidal field of 2.7 T. A scanning infrared camera with a framing rate of 50 f.p.s. has been used to determine the power and power density at the divertor target. For discharges with 1.4 MW of neutral injection, peak diverted powers of nearly 400 kW were observed during the neutral injection period, representing 24% of the total input power. Power densities on the ion drift side of the target of up to 30 MW m−2 were measured for these discharges. Discharges without neutral injection show a maximum power diversion when the gas puffing is switched off.
