It’s kind of impossible to grasp the enormity of a cooling tower until it’s suddenly right next to you. Never used for their intended purpose, the cooling towers of Washington Nuclear Projects 3 and 5 (WNP-3 and WNP-5) loom over treetops as I drive up to Satsop Business Park, about an hour and a half outside of Seattle. This abandoned nuclear power plant — a strange mix of massive concrete structures in various states of completion — has been repurposed as an advanced acoustics testing facility.

Over the winter, eggs suddenly became all but impossible to buy. As a bird flu outbreak rippled through dairy and poultry farms, grocery stores struggled to keep them on shelves. The shortages and record-high prices in February raised costs dramatically for restaurants and bakeries and led some shoppers to skip the breakfast staple entirely. But a team based at Washington University in St. Louis has developed a device that could help slow future outbreaks by detecting bird flu in air samples

Terrestrial Energy, a small nuclear startup, merged with an acquisition company on Wednesday. The North Carolina-based company is developing small modular reactors and expects to net $280 million from the deal. Before the SPAC merger, Terrestrial Energy had raised $94 million, according to PitchBook. The combined entity expects to list on Nasdaq under the symbol IMSR. The ticker is a reference to Terrestrial Energy’s flavor of small modular reactor (SMR), which it calls an integral molten salt

Since 2015, Star Wars has gotten a major video game from a triple-A developer on a fairly regular basis. Most of them have been from EA, and the publisher’s ready to unveil its next title for PC and consoles. Star Wars Celebration will have a panel on Saturday, April 19 promising to reveal a the debut game from developer Bit Reactor and produced by Respawn Entertainment. The project was first teased in 2022, and all we’ve known about it is it’ll have turn-based tactics. Bit Reactor is made up o

Breakeven fusion is coming soon, but the first-of-a-kind (FOAK) reactors will be costly, high maintenance, and have low capacity factors, leading to 5–10× higher electricity cost on the grid. These reactors also face significant physics challenges for steady-state operation, such as managing the first wall heat flux and mitigating nuclear activation of structural components that may require novel new materials to solve. We are building the first fusion reactors for marine applications. Maritim

Companies developing small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) have raised more than $1.5 billion in the past year, as tech companies hunger for power to train AI models and governments decide to commit to the industry. For example, X-energy raised $700 million this month, and Paris-based Newcleo raised $151 million last year, and one would be remiss to not mention the $700 million invested into Oklo, NuScale and Nano Nuclear for similar projects in the U.S. While nuclear fusion still looks relati
