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

A $528 billion plan to clean up 54 million gallons of radioactive bomb-making waste may never be achieved. Government negotiators are looking for a compromise.

The danger from climate change no longer outweighs the risks of nuclear accidents.

Warning comes after the last regular line supplying electricity to Ukraine’s Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was temporarily cut

Will the small modular nuclear reactor community be able to find an optimized point on the physics vs modularity curve? I don't think so.
