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 Hydrogen Isotope Separation System (HISS) has successfully recovered and enriched tritium from isotopic mixtures in a production environment for over three years. During this time the emphasis has shifted from the demonstration of the functional capabilities of HISS to the operating and maintenance requirements necessary to maintain production. This paper reviews the HISS production experience and evaluates the design of HISS, as well as the operating methods during this time.
