Nuclear News 40 Under 40—2025
Last year, we proudly launched the inaugural Nuclear News 40 Under 40 list to shine a spotlight on the exceptional young professionals driving the nuclear sector forward as the nuclear community faces a dramatic generational shift. We weren’t sure how a second list would go over, but once again, our members resoundingly answered the call, confirming what we already knew: The nuclear community is bursting with vision, talent, and extraordinary dedication.

Under the assumption of time-dependent net core breeding gain of fusion-fission symbiotic systems, analytical forms for the stockpile fuel trajectories have been derived, both for continuous and discontinuous operation. Also, usable regions for characteristic system parameters such as doubling time, minimum inventory, minimum inventory time, and minimum initial inventory have been defined. It is shown that fuel trajectories defined previously are underestimating the importance of the time dependence of the net core breeding gain.
