Planning Today for Advanced Nuclear at Military Installations
Advanced nuclear energy is moving closer to deployment at military installations. The Army recently advanced Project Janus from evaluating candidate installations to pairing commercial nuclear developers with five initial sites, marking a significant step toward deploying microreactors on Army installations. The Air Force is advancing a similar effort through its Advanced Nuclear Power for Installations […]

Understanding the NRC’s Proposed Part 57 Rule for Licensing Microreactors
In 2025, President Trump signed a series of executive orders aimed at accelerating the deployment of advanced nuclear technologies. Among the directives was Executive Order 14300, which instructed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to develop a high-volume licensing process structured around standardized approvals, risk-informed regulation, and repeatable deployment models. Consistent with that direction, the NRC published […]

Powering Data Center Growth: Evaluating Reciprocating Generation and Other Behind-the-Meter Strategies
Every day, utilities are responding to enormous energy demand. In July 2026, hourly peak load in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) reached 91.1 gigawatts (GW), surpassing the previous record in 2023 by 6%. Natural gas generation supplied nearly half of the electricity needed during that peak. This demand will only continue to grow […]

How Asset Integrity Supports Nuclear Plant License Renewal
Nuclear power plants are some of the most complex and durable assets in the energy sector. Their continued operation plays a critical role in generating carbon-free baseload electricity, while maintaining the rigorous safety standards the industry is built on. In the U.S., nuclear reactors have an initial license to operate for 40 years. Once a […]

Unlocking Data Center Development Through Behind-the-Meter Power
Data centers have quickly become a strategic priority for the U.S. economy. As AI, cloud computing, and digital business operations accelerate, the facilities that support them are being asked to scale at an unprecedented pace. But that growth depends on one increasingly constrained resource: power. Access to power is becoming more urgent as investment accelerates. […]

Small Modular Reactor Design: Principles and Considerations
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are reshaping nuclear-energy strategies. SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors with a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit. This is roughly one-third the output of the currently operating nuclear power plants. Microreactors (10MW or under) can be factory-assembled, shipped by road, rail or barge, and then installed on site. […]
