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.

3-D neutronics and shielding analyses have been performed for the divertor region of the ITER interim design. The peak neutron wall loading in the divertor region is 0.6 MW/m2 at the divertor cassette dome. The total nuclear heating in the 60 divertor cassettes is 102.4 MW. The peak helium production in the VV behind the pumping ducts is 0.5 He appm/FPY implying that rewelding might be feasible. The total nuclear heating in the parts of the TF coils in the divertor region is only 2.1 kW.
