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 TFTR facility has recently undergone modifications that increase the auxiliary heating capability by the addition of 9 MW of ion cyclotron frequency heating power. In addition, one of the neutral injection beam lines has been reoriented to provide balanced injection capability at full power (27 MW). Results from experiments with this new capability are presented. The TFTR program calls for the initiation of D-T breakeven experiments in the 1990–1991 time frame; additional shielding, tritium neutral beams and reliability upgrades are all prerequisites for the D-T experiments. The planning for this D-T preparation program is discussed.
