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 recoil injection technique was used to determine the tritium diffusion coefficient for Path A Prime Candidate Alloy (PCA) over the temperature range 323K to 523K. The diffusion coefficient is given by: Dissolution tritium counting of samples saturated in a tritium-hydrogen mixture was used to determine the tritium solubility for PCA over the temperature range 673K to 973K. The solubility is given by: No evidence of high energy trapping due to the titanium carbide precipitates in PCA was seen.
