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 theory previously developed for slightly subcooled and low-quality critical heat flux (CHF) has been extended to highly subcooled conditions. The revised model is shown to predict CHF values under these conditions for water, nitrogen, and refrigerant 113. This new approach should allow optimal design of subcooled boiling systems for cooling of fusion reactor components subjected to very high heat fluxes.
