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 intense current in a hypothetical superconducting ring wire creates circular symmetric magnetic field. The calculation of such a field is performed numerically. Complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kind with modulus âkâ approaching unity in the vicinity of the current carrying wire are used. The trajectories of charged particles moving along the current carrying wire are calculated neglecting space charge effect. With proper parameter selection toroidal magnetic field confines charged particles. Cycloid type trajectories without touching the axial current carrying wire are obtained. Such an arrangement could be used as charged particle beam guiding or storage system.
