The history of nuclear power is a tale of economic miscalculation, technological hubris, wishful thinking, political expediency, and corporate malfeasance that resulted in the largest managerial disaster in industrial history

The US government is rushing nuclear reactor deployment on federal sites to fuel its global AI race. But it may come at considerable costs and safety risks.

Amazon's push for small modular nuclear reactors is just the latest development in decadeslong fight over nuclear energy.

The dream of reviving nuclear power in the U.S. rests on a new generation of smaller reactors meant to be easier to build. But major obstacles loom.

There’s a lot of new enthusiasm around nuclear power. It isn’t warranted.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think Lloyd Marbet was a dairy farmer or maybe a retired shop teacher. His beard is thick, soft, and gray, his hair pulled back in a small ponytail. In
