All the different types of small modular reactors generate heat the same way: by splitting heavy atoms and capturing the heat ...

Small modular reactors are supposed to become a new leg on the green energy stool. However, none have been deployed, and regulatory approval is still an open issue. That is about to change. Google is ...

The nuclear energy industry is seeing a resurgence in global interest as governments, utilities, and tech giants seek to meet soaring electricity demand with around-the-clock, carbon-free power.

Small modular reactor funding receives a major boost as federal support drives U.S. nuclear energy innovation into the next generation.

Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are often hailed as the future of nuclear power—compact, scalable, and potentially capable of delivering clean energy anywhere it’s needed. From powering remote mining ...

You might imagine nuclear power plants as behemoth facilities spanning hundreds of acres. Nuclear microreactors, by contrast, could sit on land the size of a football field and power a whole town. I’m ...

Atomic energy is back, thanks to the ravenous demands of AI, favoritism from Trump, and the zeal of young entrepreneurs raising billions to build mini-reactors. The upside is unlimited. At Aalo ...

The UK's first small nuclear power stations will be built on the Isle of Anglesey in north Wales. Back in June, the government promised £2.5bn for small modular reactors (SMRs). It is hoped SMRs will ...

Today we hear from Kelly Campbell, policy director for Columbia Riverkeeper, about her organization’s concerns about using this kind of energy in the Pacific Northwest. Note: The following transcript ...

As U.S. electricity demand rises and technology companies seek to build more and larger data centers to drive artificial intelligence systems, the main question arising is how to generate all that ...
