- DL이앤씨가 25일 미국 소형모듈원전(SMR) 기술 선도 기업인 엑스에너지(X-energy)와 'SMR 표준화 설계' 계약을 체결했다고 밝혔다.
- 2023년부터 DL이앤씨가 추진해온 엑스에너지와의 협업 내용을 구체화한 계약으로내년 상반기까지 표준화 설계를 완료할 예정이다.

NRC seeks public comments on Project Matador environmental review
- The US NRC is seeking public input on Fermi America's Project Matador, marking the first use of a transformative new pilot programme that modernises how the agency conducts environmental reviews.
- This new approach - enabled by recent amendments to the National Environmental Policy Act - allows applicants, under NRC oversight, to develop a draft EIS.
- Fermi America is planning what it says is the world's largest energy-driven artificial intelligence complex, located in Amarillo, Texas.
NASA plans to send a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars in 2028
- NASA will seek to send a nuclear-powered spacecraft to Mars in December 2028 to deploy three helicopters to scout the surface.
- The ambitious spacecraft, called Space Reactor-1 (SR-1) Freedom, would test nuclear-powered space travel for the first time since the 1960s.
- But the mission may be more feasible to build than it would seem at first glance, because it would draw on a device already built for Gateway, a small space station planned for lunar orbit.
