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.

A data collection system for obtaining availability/reliability data on fusion technology has been installed at the Tritium Systems Test Assembly (TSTA) of Los Alamos National Laboratory. The system is fashioned after the Centralized Reliability Data Organization developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The data collection system is currently being used at TSTA and is working well. The amount of data that has been collected at TSTA to date is not sufficient to indicate meaningful trends in availability analysis.
