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.

Basic regulatory values for tritium as well as other radionuclides are given in the Japanese “Law concerning Prevention from Radiation Hazards due to Radioisotopes”. In this law the regulatory standards on radiation safety are fundamentally based on the ICRP Recommendations. Annual limits on intake (ALIs), derived air concentrations (DACs) and release limits are provided in the law for tritium both in elemental and oxide forms. Detailed guides for radiation protection including radiation monitoring are stipulated in each establishment. Rules on health, safety and environment for tritium protection in Japan will be presented and discussed.
