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.

An attempt was made to replicate electrochemical and gas-load cold fusion neutron counts. The best results for electrolysis were counts of 2.5 times background for 45 min. The cold fusion rate was found to be <2.09 × 10−22 fusion/(d-d)·s−1. For the gas-load method, an effect was seen twice, with neutron counts on the order of 3 to 4 times background over 1.5 h. The search for excess tritium in the heavy water from the electrolytic cells proved negative. However, mass spectroscopy of the D2 gas before and after the gas-load experiments indicated a change in the mass 3 to mass 2 ratio from 0.53 to 1.66.
