On the fusion side: Wisconsin-based Realta Fusion partnered with Kyoto Fusioneering to design and fabricate critical components of the fusion fuel cycle.
On the fission side: X-energy signed an MOU with engineering firm IHI to expand the supplier base for its Xe-100 reactor, with a focus on commercial-scale manufacturing of nuclear components.
Both deals bolster the Trump administration's push for globe-spanning nuclear networks.
