When Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) announced in September 2025 that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Russia’s Rosatom to cooperate on small modular reactors (SMRs), the development added a new dimension to the shifting geopolitics of nuclear energy.
The Kansas Department of Commerce, TerraPower, and utility Evergy have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to evaluate sites for an advanced nuclear reactor and energy storage project, signaling how the sector is responding to mounting grid pressures.
The UK energy sector may see up to 960 MW of advanced nuclear capacity at Hartlepool under a newly signed agreement between Centrica and X-Energy, marking a significant shift toward small-modular reactor deployment as the country contends with retiring baseload assets and rising decarbonization targets.
NAAREA’s validation of plutonium chloride fuel synthesis through collaboration with the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre addresses a critical bottleneck…
Doosan Enerbility and state-run Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) signed a memorandum of understanding with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and X-energy to advance the deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) in the U.S.
