The biggest nuclear energy news today is a ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine. Repairs are needed at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. The International Atomic Energy Agency helped the two countries reach this agreement to allow for the repairs of backup power lines.
The U.S. Department of Energy also released new nuclear energy rules that were changed last month. These rules were changed to accelerate the development of nuclear power plants. This isn’t too surprising, as President Donald Trump signed an executive order last month to bring new nuclear power plants in the U.S. online. This is part of the Trump administration’s push to make nuclear energy more widespread in the U.S.
