2025 annual assessments out for U.S. reactors
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has released its 2025 annual performance assessments of the country’s 95 operating commercial nuclear reactors. And of the 95 reactors, all but five earned the highest marks.
Nuclear power plant assessments can fall under one of five categories: Licensee Response, Regulatory Response, Degraded Cornerstone, Degraded Performance, and Unacceptable Performance. Ninety reactors fell under Licensee Response, the highest performance category in safety and security. Plants that achieve this level of performance are subject to a Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) baseline inspection.

The blanket tritium recovery system using the hydrogen pump with solid electrolyte membrane has been proposed by the present authors. Perovskite-type ceramic such as SrCe0.95Yb0.05O3-a, is one of the candidate protonic conductor for hydrogen pump and its ionic hydrogen transportation properties are being investigated. Deuterium transportation properties were investigated and were compared with H2 to understand the isotope effect. The basic hydrogen isotope transportation property of SrCe0.95Yb0.05O3-a, its technical feasibility, and issues for further development toward practical devices were revealed.
