Nuclear Power: Finally...
At last nuclear energy is making a serious comeback. Global heating, energy demand from AI and data centers, and a renewed push for clean baseload power, result in the building and planning of new projects.
Nuclear Plants Under Construction - Globally, over 70 nuclea r reactors are under construction, mostly in Asia and the Middle East. China has more active projects but major work is underway in India, Turkey, South Korea, Egypt, Iran, Bangladesh, and the UK showing that nuclear isn't just an idea—it's actively being built into the energy mix right now.
Proposed US Nuclear Plants - Several states including New York are looking at large advanced reactors. Companies like Amazon are backing smaller, modular designs to power cloud infrastructure. Texas is also working on plans for very large nuclear campuses to support AI hubs. Last year 25 states passed legislation to support advanced nuclear energy and this year lawmakers have introduced over 200 bills supportive of nuclear energy, according to Marc Nichol of the Nuclear Energy Institute. Overall, there's growing momentum behind cleaner, flexible nuclear options for the near future.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is inviting private-sector nuclear developers to submit proposals for experiments and demonstrations using its Microreactor Application Research Validation and Evaluation (MARVEL) project. The first-of-its-kind operational test bed for advanced microreactor technologies is now 90% through its final design phase, with key components already under fabrication.

The World Bank is re-entering the nuclear energy space "for the first time in decades," its President Ajay Banga said Wednesday, as it works towards meeting growing electricity demand in developing countries.
Mr Banga said in an email to staff that the bank will work closely with United Nations nuclear watchdog the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), "strengthening our ability to advise on non-proliferation safeguards" and regulatory frameworks.
