Altman, who was an early-stage investor in US-based Oklo, will step down immediately and be replaced by Jacob DeWitte, the group’s chief executive officer and co-founder.

The NRC has issued its final safety evaluation approving the Fuel Qualification Methodology Topical Report for the advanced fuel design to be used in the KRONOS micro modular reactor energy system.

A research team led by GEH has successfully tested a steel-concrete composite module, known as the Diaphragm Plate Steel Composite, designed to lower the cost of constructing nuclear reactor containment structures.

Aalo Atomics, a US-based microreactor developer from Austin, Texas, has introduced the Aalo Pod, a 50 MWe "extra modular reactor" designed to supply power to data centers. This system builds on the company’s Aalo-1 advanced reactor technology and aims to deliver clean, reliable, and scalable energy solutions.

This isn’t just a win for Radiant; it’s a significant stride for the future of nuclear energy, particularly in remote, challenging, and critical environments.

The latest deal establishes the University of Illinois as a partner in the licensing, siting, public engagement and research operations of the KRONOS MMR.

The U.S. Department of Energy today made conditional commitments to provide high-assay low-enriched uranium to five U.S. nuclear developers to meet their near-term fuel needs.

Dow and X-Energy Reactor Company, LLC announced the submission of a construction permit application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a proposed advanced nuclear project in Seadrift, TX.

SMRs could help meet an expected surge in U.S. electricity demand coming from the expansion of power-hungry data centers but they are still in the development stage and unlikely to become commercially available until at least the end of the decade. As well as investing billions of dollars to develop this technology ahead of their rivals, SMR companies need to secure supplies of nuclear fuel.

Facing increasing power requirements to meet artificial intelligence demand, a number of AI data center operators are turning to nuclear energy. But not all nuclear-powered AI data center projects are the same. This article discusses some of the distinctions.
