nuclear energy

Helion Energy, an American fusion energy company, recently achieved a major milestone in the race to commercialize fusion energy. On February 13, the company announced its Polaris prototype successfully reached temperatures of 150 million degrees Celsius and demonstrated measurable deuterium-tritium fusion. This achievement breaks the company’s previous 100-million-degree record and marks a substantial step forward in private-sector fusion energy progress.  Fusion is the process in which two atoms are forcibly merged to release energy. The energy released is up to four times more […]

With U.S. electricity demand expected to increase significantly—largely driven by AI and data center needs, increased manufacturing and electrification—next-generation nuclear technologies represent a tremendous opportunity. As these industries seek to procure reliable, round-theclock, clean sources of electricity, advanced and modular nuclear technologies stand out as a uniquely qualified energy source to meet the growing demand […]
