Google’s escalating electricity demand for data centers has pushed the company to back one of the most ambitious bets in the U.S. energy sector: advanced nuclear power.

Sweden’s nuclear power landscape is edging closer to its first new construction project in more than 40 years. Vattenfall has shortlisted GE Vernova and Rolls-Royce SMR as potential suppliers for small modular reactors (SMRs) on the Värö Peninsula, narrowing the field from an initial 75 candidates to two.

Svalbard Kjernekraft has formally submitted a proposal to the Governor of Svalbard for an assessment programme to evaluate the installation of a small modular reactor (SMR) in Longyearbyen, marking the first step toward establishing nuclear power on the Arctic archipelago.

U.S. electricity demand is surging at a pace not seen in decades, with AI-driven data centers emerging as one of the main culprits.

Britain’s nuclear sector faces deployment delays of up to a decade compared to peer nations due to what the UK’s Nuclear Taskforce describes as “unnecessarily slow, inefficient and costly” regulation.

Canada’s small modular reactor market commands a projected CAD 5.3 billion value between 2025 and 2040, yet the integration of…

First Hydrogen Corp. is positioning itself at the convergence of two major transformation vectors: clean hydrogen and small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). The company has announced a research collaboration with Professor Muhammad Taha Manzoor of the University of Alberta, targeting the design optimization and fuel material development for SMRs—an increasingly strategic energy source amid ballooning power demand from AI data centers.

NuScale Power Corporation has recently garnered approval from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for its enhanced 250 MWt (77 MWe) NuScale Power Modules.

Global temperatures have surged past 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, yet carbon emissions continue to rise at 1.1% annually, defying net-zero…

With electricity demand expected to surge by 26 GW by 2035, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has positioned itself at the forefront of U.S. small modular reactor (SMR) development, filing a permit application to build the country’s first commercial-scale SMR at its Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
