Nuclear energy news covering power plants, reactor technology, nuclear policy, uranium markets, and the role of nuclear in clean energy.
Swedish firm 2D Fusion AB announced the commercial availability of clean nuclear fusion energy products as of November 5, 2026. First deliveries are scheduled for Q3 2029, with a 1 GW plant targeting operation by 2032.
Reuben Gregg Brewer argues that established nuclear operators like NextEra Energy or Constellation Energy offer safer investment options than volatile startups like Oklo or uranium-dependent firms like Cameco. He suggests that diversified exposure through major utilities provides a more stable entry into the nuclear power sector amid growing energy demands.
Vietnam has partnered with Russia's Rosatom to advance its nuclear energy goals through a new research agreement. The deal allows Vietnamese scientists access to the MBIR fast-neutron reactor in Dimitrovgrad, facilitating studies on nuclear fuels, materials, and safety as part of an international consortium.
The article argues that BWX Technologies is a superior investment to Oklo following a market sell-off, citing its long-term U.S. Navy contracts and commercial component sales as sources of revenue stability compared to Oklo's higher volatility.
AERB Chairperson A.K. Balasubrahmanian assured that private sector entry into India's nuclear energy sector will not compromise safety standards under the SHANTI Act. With India targeting 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047, the regulator aims to provide an enabling environment for private players while maintaining strict oversight, noting public infrastructure alone may be insufficient.
Physicist David Keith argues that the Canadian government should abandon its commitment to CANDU nuclear reactor technology in favor of mainstream light-water designs. He contends that while nuclear expansion is necessary, clinging to outdated domestic technology hinders competitiveness in the evolving global energy market.
