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.

Tritium transfer in fusion reactor is one of major risk of contamination in fusion plant, as well for environment impact as for worker inside plant. The main purposes of this study is to calculate tritium concentration in each containment, taking into account containment design, leakage rate of tritium contaminated cooled water and atmospheric detritiation system. It is tried to optimize contamination level in each cases studied, on technico economical point of view, taking into account investment and operating costs, by multicriteria analysis. A computer code called TRITO (Tritium Transfer Optimization) was performed to solve for all conditions, including the two main options: one confinement and two confinement systems.
