The Energy Department's loan aims to revive the Duane Arnold nuclear plant, marking a significant move in the U.S. nuclear energy sector.
The Energy Department’s loan aims to revive the Duane Arnold nuclear plant, marking a significant move in the U.S. nuclear energy sector. PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: The U.S. Energy Department announced a $1.9 billion loan to assist in restarting the Duane Arnold nuclear power plant in Iowa, which ceased operations in 2020. This initiative is part of a broader effort to revive nuclear energy in the United States, in part to power the boom in artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. DETAIL: NextEra Energy, the company behind the project, plans to refurbish the plant’s reactor and aims to restart operations by 2029. The federal loan is expected to lower financing costs for NextEra, which has also secured a deal with Google to…Open
As the war sputters on, an internal report from the International Atomic Energy Agency said Iran’s refusal to grant access to its inspectors was an urgent concern.
President Trump’s administration sent a nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia that would allow the kingdom to enrich uranium to Congress this week, kick-starting a congressional review process required under the Atomic Energy Act. However, President Trump’s retroactive condition for the deal — that it will only move forward if Saudi Arabia joins the Abraham Accords — has not changed, an administration official told The Hill on Wednesday.

UN inspectors this week visited several undeclared Assad-era Syrian nuclear sites for the first time — including some used to store nuclear material. Why it matters: The inspections by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi and his team came after diplomatic efforts by the Trump administration, first reported by Axios , that produced understandings with both Syria and Israel. - It marked the first time the IAEA was given full access to suspicious nuclear sites in Syria. Flashback: The Assad regime had developed a secret nuclear program centered on the clandestine Al-Kibar reactor. - After Israel bombed the reactor in 2007, the Syrian nuclear program was mostly destroyed. But several…
A covert agreement involving the U.S., Israel, and Syria aims to extract nuclear material from a secret site in Syria, averting an Israeli military intervention.
PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration successfully negotiated an agreement with Syria, Israel, and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to extract nuclear material from a secret site in Syria. This deal was reached after months of behind-the-scenes diplomacy and threats from Israel to take military action if the material remained. DETAIL: The nuclear material, reportedly stored at a facility known as “Site 99,” included yellowcake uranium and residues from the former Syrian regime’s Al-Kibar reactor project, which was largely destroyed by an Israeli airstrike in 2007. The material, while not suitable for nuclear weapons, could potentially be used to create a radiological “dirty bomb.” Israel had closely…Open
