Aalo Atomics reduced permitting workload by 92% and cut an estimated $80M in annual costs using Microsoft’s generative AI tools, as part of the newly launched Microsoft–NVIDIA “AI for Nuclear” initiative aimed at accelerating reactor design, licensing, and deployment...
Governor Mikie Sherrill removed a permitting requirement that effectively banned the development of nuclear power for decades because it required a method of radioactive waste disposal that was impossible to meet.

Four new countries—China, Brazil, Italy, and Belgium—have endorsed the Declaration to Triple Nuclear Energy by 2050, totaling 38 existing formal signatories in pursuing low-carbon, reliable, and scalable nuclear power. The move emphasizes advanced reactor technologies, including small modular reactors and fourth-generation designs.

After more than a decade of policies that sidelined nuclear, the EU has finally begun to acknowledge the misstep. Ursula von der Leyen said Europe made a “strategic mistake” in turning away from nuclear power as the European Commission unveiled plans for new financial support and a strategy in an effort to deploy small modular reactors across the continent in the early 2030s——a modest but notable signal of shifting sentiment, even as member states remain divided and nuclear policy itself remains largely unchanged...

California is one of the most progressive, productive, and innovative economies in the world. Yet we are ceding our clean energy leadership because we have put blinders on about nuclear power. We are petitioning to change this anachronistic paradigm because nuclear waste hasn't hurt anyone but climate change is going to destroy our future. There are plenty of solutions to nuclear waste but just a few types of energy that can compete with fossil fuels and nuclear is one. California needs to deploy more nuclear power if we want to succeed in achieving zero-carbon energy by 2045 while also providing abundant and reliable power to our economy. This petition seeks to get the CEC to determine that there are a plethora of safe solutions to nuclear waste as well as reprocessing capabilities coming online to satisfy the terms of the existing laws, such that the CEC can begin issuing permits again and preparing to bring California into the 21st Century on energy.
