The world continues to talk nuclear, and the #nuclear announcements keep coming. It's kind of a lot. Fear not! We've summarized the buzziest conversations happening across the U.S. and the globe 🐝👇 nei.org/news/the-buzz-around…
A person holds a smartphone displaying news notifications. The notifications are from Axios about nuclear energy startup funding, from Heatmap News about the cost of nuclear energy, and from Bloomberg about a nuclear waste repository. The screen shows the time as 2:35. The background is a wooden surface, and the text at the top reads, "The Buzz Around Nuclear: Q3 2026.

Finland granted an operating license for its Onkalo spent fuel repository, becoming the first country in the world to do so. This means the site can begin permanently storing nuclear "waste" once their regulator gives final approval 🪨👷👇 yahoo.com/news/science/artic…
A person wearing a high-visibility jacket and helmet is inspecting an underground tunnel. The tunnel, lined with rock and equipped with lighting, is part of the Onkalo underground repository for spent nuclear fuel in Finland, near the Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant.

Nuclear energy comes in all shapes and sizes...Large, Small, and even Tiny. Microreactors are the smallest of the bunch, meant for somewhat hard-to-reach spots—remote communities, disaster relief areas, military bases, our solar system's #moons, etc. 💅👇 finance.yahoo.com/energy/art…
