도입부: In this issue: A new Gallup poll shows increased support for nuclear, Kairos Power breaks ground on Hermes 2, CFS sets an ambitious deadline, Zeno Power completes a design review, an NRC reorganization update, and more.Kairos Power breaks ground on first power-producing reactor in Oak Ridge
On April 17, Kairos Power broke ground on its Hermes 2 demonstration plant in Oak Ridge, Tenn., for which it received test reactor construction permits from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in November 2024. Kairos expects Hermes 2 to begin operations by 2030, when the fluoride salt–cooled, high-temperature reactor could become the first NRC-licensed non–light water reactor to produce power. “The country needs everything that nuclear power can deliver, and the burden is on us to prove that we can deliver it. We take that responsibility seriously,” said Kairos CEO Mike Laufer. Go deeper on Nuclear Newswire.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is moving forward with its plans to reorganize around three core business lines: new reactors, operating reactors, and nuclear materials and waste. In order to do that, the agency will establish two new offices: the Office of Advanced Reactors and the Office of the Chief Nuclear Reactor Inspector. Go deeper on Nuclear Newswire.

When many people hear the phrase “civil nuclear technology,” they still think first of power plants—an understandable association. Nuclear power has been one of the most reliable sources of large-scale electricity for decades. It is our storefront. But nuclear technology has always been bigger than electrons.
