The Nuclear Revival: How Nuclear Reactors Have Evolved | The Nuclear Option | CNA Documentary

We chart the evolution of nuclear power, from the first controlled chain reaction to today’s small, micro modular reactors and the pursuit of fusion. New designs are being tailored to meet the energy needs of remote communities, AI infrastructure, and climate-conscious cities. The episode highlights how nuclear power is being adapted to local contexts, featuring China’s pebble-bed reactor, Finland’s underground district heating plant, and Indonesia’s floating nuclear concept. It also examines Westinghouse’s portable microreactor and the fusion research underway at ITER in France and KSTAR in South Korea. Engineers, scientists, and policy experts weigh in on how nuclear energy is being reimagined to deliver clean, reliable power in a rapidly changing world.
