Welcome to this month’s Nuclear News Round-Up.
The nuclear sector is charging forward, with small modular reactors (SMRs) securing major deals, fusion energy breaking records and the UK government doubling down on nuclear expansion.
Here’s a look at the biggest nuclear stories shaping the future of energy this month:
- Deep Fission Powers Up Data Centers with Mile-Deep SMRs Deep Fission, in partnership with Endeavour Energy, will supply 2GW of nuclear power to its global data center portfolio. Their borehole reactor technology, set to go online in 2029, promises safe, low-cost, zero-carbon power at just 5-7 cents per kWh. With major tech firms like AWS, Google and Switch investing in SMRs, nuclear energy is becoming an essential component of AI-driven infrastructure. Read more
- China’s ‘Artificial Sun’ Breaks Fusion Record China’s Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) has achieved a new milestone by sustaining fusion power for a record 1,066 seconds (almost 18 minutes). While still experimental, these advancements suggest a promising future for fusion energy. With new facilities underway in Anhui Province, China is clearly pushing forward its fusion energy agenda.
