Nuclear NewsNEW Vermont Yankee decommissioning is nearly completeNorthStar Group Services has nearly completed the physical demolition of the former Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant. The ten-year project used almost the entire six hundred two million dollar decommissioning trust fund to clear structures and ship radioactive debris to Texas. The swift dismantling highlights an alternative to traditional deferred plant dormancy by using third-party contractors for rapid site remediation. Spent nuclear fuel remains stored in dry casks on the property pending a federal repository, while regulators must still review the completed work before releasing the land for future use. Almost all of the $602 million decommissioning trust fund has been spent on demolishing the reactor and its affiliated structures and shipping the debris thousands of miles away.

Nuclear NewsNEW Fusion Startup Builds Reactor With Magnetic MirrorsFusion Startup on a Shoestring Budget Spins Plasma With Salvaged Parts A Baltimore startup named Terra Fusion is developing an experimental nuclear reactor using salvaged medical MRI parts and secondhand brewing equipment. The company uses magnetic mirrors and supersonic plasma rotation to contain the reaction at a fraction of standard industry costs. While the global fusion sector relies heavily on multibillion-dollar tokamaks and laser systems, alternative designs offer potential savings in construction and maintenance. This low-budget approach tests whether simpler magnetic configurations c...Core Content 2 days ago 1

Nuclear NewsNEW What Does Fleetwide AI Actually Mean for the U.S. Nuclear Industry?Atomic Canyon has launched the Nuclear Industry Virtual Assistant across the North American commercial nuclear fleet. Developed with industry organizations, the artificial intelligence tool allows nuclear professionals to search regulatory guidance, technical reports, and operating experience from a single platform. The deployment aims to reduce the time personnel spend searching siloed databases during maintenance, outages, and licensing work. Because the platform provides inline citations to underlying documents, engineers and operators can independently verify sources before making decision...Core Content 2 days ago 1
Nuclear NewsNEW Ultrasensitive heat sensor tracks X-rays from nuclear materialsResearchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology developed a new microcalorimeter array to measure X-rays emitted by radioactive materials. The cryogenic device detects single photons with high precision, improving the separation of overlapping X-ray and gamma-ray signals from uranium, neptunium, and plutonium. Accurately isolating these overlapping energy signatures helps technicians monitor nuclear fuel and waste more reliably at power plants and weapons facilities. As the deployment of small modular reactors increases demand for precise civilian material tracking, improved...Core Content 2 days ago 1
