2025: The year in nuclear

Departing from the chronological format of past years’ recaps, we open with the most impactful news of 2025: a survey of actions and orders of the Trump administration 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. From test reactors to leadership changes, 2025 was a jam-packed year. Before we dive too deep into the rapid developments of 2026, take a moment to refresh yourself on the key nuclear moments of the past twelve months on Nuclear NewsWire.
