Clean Core Thorium Energy, a Chicago-based nuclear startup, has become the second company in nearly two decades to receive an export license from the U.S. government to sell nuclear technology in India. This development could support India's ambitions to advance its thorium-based nuclear energy program. Meanwhile, South Korean companies are expanding their involvement in small modular reactors, reflecting a broader global interest in nuclear innovation. In Europe, Newcleo, the continent's largest nuclear startup, is facing concerns over its cash flow. Policymakers worldwide are increasingly seeking to escalate nuclear energy production amid evolving energy supply dynamics. Discussions around the privatization of nuclear energy and uranium markets are also gaining attention, signaling shifts in the nuclear sector's regulatory and commercial landscape.
