Antares reaches reactor criticality under Trump pilot program, marking major nuclear milestone
Antares Nuclear, Inc. announced Thursday that its Mark-0 microreactor achieved criticality at Idaho National Laboratory, becoming the first advanced reactor to reach the milestone under a U.S. Department of Energy pilot program established after President Donald Trump's 2025 executive order aimed at accelerating nuclear development. The Torrance, California-based company said the reactor reached initial criticality under DOE authorization, making Antares the first private company to bring an...

US nuclear start-up marks mini-reactor breakthrough
US nuclear start-up marks mini-reactor breakthrough NEW YORK: A nuclear start-up working on mini-reactors for the United States military has announced a crucial first step in producing a model that could be deployed at bases and other strategic sites within a few years. Antares said on Thursday (Jun 4) that it had achieved initial criticality for its Mark-0 prototype, meaning it triggered a controlled, self-sustaining fission chain reaction for producing electricity. It said it was the first...

Small modular nuclear reactor reaches criticality in first test
Just over a year ago, the Trump Administration issued an executive order meant to accelerate the development of nuclear power in the US. While an entire startup ecosystem has developed around the use of different—and typically smaller—reactor designs, only one of them has been fully licensed so far, and there are no plans to actually build any instances of that design. The executive order directed the Department of Energy to have three different reactor designs reach criticality in a bit...
Trump pumps federal funds into coal plants in the name of energy security
The Trump Administration is using Cold War-era rules to authorize up to $500 million in funding to keep 13 coal-fired power plants going and build a coal export terminal in California. America's Department of Energy (DoE) says it is securing the funding via the Defense Production Act (DPA), which grants the president authority to use federal financial incentives to stimulate private domestic industry deemed critical to national defense. At the same time, the DoE announced that one of the...

Rocket goes boom, satellite cameras zoom: Explosive Blue Origin damage is visible from space
Rocket goes boom, satellite cameras zoom: Explosive Blue Origin damage is visible from space New Glenn's launchpad is so cooked, satellites can see the char from orbit. The dust has settled in the aftermath of last week's giant New Glenn rocket explosion, which shook Florida's Space Coast and the space industry itself. Blue Origin was conducting a fueling test on May 28, ahead of New Glenn's fourth mission, when a yet unknown event led to the total destruction of the vehicle and significant...
