Italy's parliament has approved a law paving the way for the country's return to nuclear power, decades after Italy abandoned it following referendums influenced by the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. The move would allow new nuclear technology to be developed or adopted, reversing a long-standing ban. Supporters frame it as key to energy security and climate goals, while critics recall Italy's anti-nuclear history.

The Trump administration is moving forward with a plan to supply plutonium harvested from dismantled Cold War-era nuclear warheads to companies that would convert the material into fuel for nuclear power plants. The proposal has generated debate and unease among experts and observers, who are weighing the potential energy benefits against concerns about handling such dangerous material.

President Trump said the United States will "win this war very soon" and that oil prices should fall sharply once the conflict ends. He framed the key objective as preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The remarks come amid ongoing fighting and continued attention to energy markets, with analysts watching how quickly oil prices might react to any resolution.

Politico examines whether the fast-iteration, failure-tolerant development model that propelled SpaceX's rise in the space industry could be applied to nuclear power, a sector long weighed down by regulation, high costs and slow construction timelines. The piece reflects a broader debate about whether entrepreneurial speed and private capital can accelerate the next generation of reactors while maintaining safety standards.

Poland's National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) is leading a study of neutrino scattering at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The work aims to measure how neutrinos interact with matter at the highest energies ever achieved, a poorly tested area of particle physics. The findings could sharpen understanding of the weak nuclear force and improve measurements of other LHC results.
