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 present parametric study formulates certain requirements regarding basic determinants of the only really economically effective variant of fusion power - the fusion-fission hybrid. On the basis of performed calculations and considerations the conditions are determined to be fulfilled for the realization of a competitive hybrid reactor. In spite of the still existing wide margins of uncertainty of pertinent physical data the carried out comparison of the fusion hybrid with the pure fusion variant has come out firmly in favour of the former. Thus, the indicated difficulties notwithstanding, the promising perspectives of fusion breeders have been strengthened.
