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.

Results obtained in more than 100 electrolysis experiments of D2O with palladium and titanium cathodes, characterized by continuous high-efficiency neutron monitoring, are reported. In two runs with palladium cathodes, anomalous counts were observed that could not be rejected as evident spurious signals. In one of the two runs, anomalous counts were simultaneous with deformation of the palladium cathode. The two events are reported as candidate events of neutron emission. Moreover, in 2 (of 30) experiments with pulsed current, a statistically significant difference between counts in the charging and in the relaxation phases was observed. Some tritium measurements in the electrolyte solution were carried out, with no evidence of tritium contamination over the natural content. Analyses of the gases from the cathodes revealed the presence of species with masses of five and six, which could be attributed to DDH and D3 molecules.
