Inside the race to rebuild America’s fuel supply chain for a ‘second nuclear age’
Antares activated its Mark-0 microreactor under the Trump administration’s pilot program, highlighting efforts to advance next-generation nuclear reactors amid a struggling North American uranium supply chain. Congress plans to ban Russian enriched uranium imports by 2028, while AI companies invest in reactors but avoid uranium mining, prompting calls for supply chain development. Projects by TerraPower, Kairos Power, and revived plants aim to boost U.S. nuclear capacity to 400 gigawatts by 2050.
