At a time of global energy transition, nuclear power is experiencing an unprecedented revival. At the end of 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) counted 417 operational nuclear reactors, with a global capacity of 377 gigawatts (GW), and announced a trajectory that could lead to a threefold increase in the global production of nuclear by 2050.

In an environment marked by increased sovereignty, safety, and performance requirements, engineering has a key role to play in supporting fuel cycle stakeholders in major upcoming programmes, and responding to the challenges of infrastructure modernisation, sustainability, productivity, and adaptability.
