Can nuclear reactors hit the road?
Nature, Published online: 26 August 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02510-8 Fission facilities that fit in a truck could provide portable power where it’s needed — but some people question whether it’s worth the cost, safety compromises and the risk of sending the raw materials for
Harnessing nuclear power for a clean-energy future
Nature, Published online: 26 August 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02505-5 Generating electricity using fission has a chequered past. New approaches such as smaller reactors could transform the technology into a more nimble source of always-on, carbon-free power.
Nuclear power is China’s key for transitioning to a fully renewable grid design
Between late 2016 and August 2026, China connected 27 new nuclear reactors to its grid. In the same period, the United States connected two. As Jacopo Buongiorno—professor of nuclear science and engineering and director of the Center for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems at the Mas
Chubu Electric faces scrutiny over reactor decommissioning costs
The company allegedly misrepresented the progress of construction work at some reactors when applying for reimbursement of costs related to decommissioning, sources said.
Exclusive: Why Antares is bringing nuclear power to Fort Bragg
The U.S. Army and the Defense Innovation Unit have selected Antares to build and operate nuclear microreactors at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, chief executive Jordan Bramble told Axios. Why it matters: The military's sky-high energy demand — for reusable batteries, computer farms,
