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.

A Gas Clean Up System (GCUS) has been designed, built and installed for the new tritium handling facility at Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE), Aldermaston. The system is in the process of being commissioned and once this is complete and the facility is operational, it will be used for the removal of hydrogen isotopes from gaseous waste arisings within the facility and concentrating them in waste packages. The system also provides a depression for the sources of these waste arisings, particularly the inert gas gloveboxes, as part of the contamination containment within the facility. This paper describes the details of various sub-systems within the GCUS and their engineering, construction, installation and testing.
