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 tritium technology needs for a Tokamak Demonstration Reactor (DEMO) have been reviewed and compared with the technology that will be developed from pre-DEMO experimental facilities. The Engineering Test Reactors, of either the tokamak or tandem mirror type, can provide most of the technology which can be safely extrapolated to the DEMO. Unresolved issues which need major attention are plasma-wall interactions, tritium barriers in the heat transfer system and tritium breeding in fusion reactor-relevant experimental facilities.
