Globally, nuclear power accounts for roughly 10% of electricity generation. In some countries, such as France, this figure is nearly 70%.

Nuclear Fission Announcements. Tripling Nuclear Energy by 2050. On December 1, 2023, more than 20 countries from four continents signed the Declaration to Triple Nuclear Energy.

According to Romania Insider, construction of Europe's very first tritium removal facility began in early June 2025. This would put the facility in a great position for future nuclear fusion processes ...

First, let’s discuss some basics of nuclear fusion. Today’s nuclear power plants are based on nuclear fission, which is the splitting of a heavy isotope like uranium-235 into two smaller isotopes.

They called this 20x6x25-foot setup Chicago Pile Number One, or CP-1 for short – and it was here they obtained world's the first controlled nuclear chain reaction on December 2, 1942.

For tech companies, part of the appeal of fission is a stable, predictable source of power that flows 24/7, giving their data centers the potential to run computing loads whenever they require it.

The Fukushima nuclear accident, ... we have to rethink the price we pay for fission power. Faust, for example, was the mythical figure who sold his soul to the devil for unlimited power.
