Google inks historic US deal to buy Gen IV nuclear power for data centers | Neetika Walter Kairos Power’s Hermes 2 reactor will deliver 50 MW of carbon-free power by 2030, with TVA channeling the energy to Google’s data centers. Google has announced the first power purchase agreement (PPA) between a U.S. utility and an advanced nuclear developer. Through the deal, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) will buy electricity from Kairos Power’s Hermes 2 demonstration plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The 50-megawatt reactor is expected to begin operations in 2030, sending power to TVA’s grid and supporting Google’s data centers in Tennessee and Alabama. One-of-a-kind milestone This marks the first time a U.S. utility has committed to purchasing electricity from a Generation IV nuclear plant. For Google, it represents an early step in a longer-term collaboration with Kairos Power to unlock as much as 500 megawatts of nuclear capacity over the next decade. The Hermes 2 project also carries symbolic weight, reviving Oak Ridge’s historic role as a hub for nuclear innovation. Google has steadily expanded its presence in the Tennessee Valley over the past decade and has worked closely with TVA to add clean energy to the region. With artificial intelligence workloads and cloud services driving demand for reliable electricity, the company is now betting on advanced nuclear as part of its strategy to secure 24/7 carbon-free energy. The U.S. grid is under growing strain as AI, electrification, and population growth push power demand to new highs. Traditional sources of clean power, such as wind and solar, cannot always deliver around the clock, while large nuclear plants face long timelines and high costs. Small and modular nuclear reactors offer a potential solution, providing carbon-free capacity with more flexibility. Trump push gives nuclear fresh momentum The move comes as the Trump administration has accelerated support for advanced nuclear. In May, the White House signed executive orders to streamline licensing for micro-reactors and small modular reactors, to triple or even quadruple U.S. nuclear output by mid-century. Federal agencies have also launched pilot projects to test more than a dozen small reactors, many on federal land to avoid permitting delays. These steps have helped renew investor interest in nuclear technology and created room for private-sector deals like Google’s. Energy startups such as Oklo have seen their shares climb after securing government partnerships, underscoring the link between policy reform and commercial appetite. Google’s nuclear partnership reflects this broader momentum. The deal highlights how next-generation technologies can find a pathway to market by combining utility-scale, regulatory support, and private-sector demand. For Oak Ridge, the project could deliver economic benefits alongside energy breakthroughs. Kairos Power plans to train a new generation of nuclear workers in partnership with the University of Tennessee and other institutions. The Hermes 2 plant will also anchor efforts to re-establish the city as a center of nuclear innovation. In signing on to the project, Google is not only securing clean power for its data centers but also helping to push advanced nuclear toward commercial reality. Read more:

#WATCH | On India-US ties, Executive Director of the Observer Research Foundation America, Dhruva Jaishankar, says, "... In recent years, China has expanded and modernised its nuclear arsenal, undertaken one of the largest naval buildups in its history, and unveiled new unmanned and cyber systems. In 2020, a major mobilisation by the PLA resulted in clashes in which 20 Indian military personnel lost their lives. China has also developed a network of potentially dual-use ports across the Indo-Pacific and beyond that might be used to secure critical choke points. The Indian Navy, as a result, has stepped up patrols and contributed to maritime burden sharing in the Indian Ocean and Pacific. Both the United States and India also have enormous trade deficits with China... China's rare earth export restrictions have reinforced concerns about supply chain concentration as a source of leverage over competitors. Another area of strategic convergence between the United States and India has involved stabilising the Middle East..." These remarks were made at The House Foreign Affairs South and Central Asia Subcommittee's hearing titled, 'The U.S.–India Strategic Partnership: Securing a Free and Open Indo-Pacific'.

A truly staggering number of AI-powered humanoid robots are emerging from Shenzhen, the booming Chinese tech hub. Shenzhen Dobot, which rose from a Kickstarter campaign to become an industrial automation leader, says its first humanoid robot, Atom, has entered mass production. Atom is positioned as a general-purpose cross-industry worker. Priced around $27,000, Atom boasts fine motor control that’s precise enough to pick up a cherry by the stem. Another major player is Pudu Robotics, which recently shipped its 100,000th service robot. Pudu is commercializing its wheeled and bipedal humanoids using its sizable customer base. Its flagship is the PUDU D9, a full-sized biped built to serve in places like warehouses, stores, and hotels. It sells for between $20,000 and $30,000. A newer firm, AI Squared, recently closed a funding round worth hundreds of millions of yuan to rush its Alpha Bot 2 general-purpose humanoid to market. The startup, founded in 2023, says its AI combines slow reasoning and fast motion planning so its robots can plan, talk, and move simultaneously. An even newer firm, Lumos Robotics, has reportedly raised nearly $28 million in angel funding to develop a full-stack humanoid robotics platform. The second-generation iteration of its flagship robot, the LUS 2, recently demonstrated the ability to get up from the ground in just a second. According to Lumos, the next-gen bot features upgraded actuators and sensors for athletic-level dexterity. LimX Dynamics, known for its agile quadrupeds and bipeds, just shared footage showcasing its CL-3 humanoid’s lifelike walking gait and gestures. LimX says its flagship humanoid can watch human movement videos and replicate them via motion conversion, with no hand coding required. Just a year after its establishment, the startup DIGIT has unveiled multiple lines of sci-fi-inspired humanoids. Its Starwalker robots switch between legged and wheeled locomotion to cover more than 10,000 square meters across multiple floors. They’re available in five different colors. DIGIT also has a robot named Xia Lan with a humanlike face that can show a range of expressions and emotions. The leading Chinese robotics firm UBTECH also recently introduced its first hyper-realistic humanoid robot, Una, intended for applications like customer service and event marketing. UBTECH says it’s begun mass-producing its Walker S humanoid robots that are reportedly helping assemble iPhones for Foxconn. Footage of a so-called intelligent swarm of these humanoids at a Zeekr factory shocked the world. Another EV maker, Xpeng, plans to start mass-producing its Iron humanoids in 2026. The robot reportedly stole the show during the 2025 Shanghai Auto Week. The Shenzhen firm that’s gotten the most attention outside the usual tech echo chambers is Engine AI, which is planning the world’s first full-sized humanoid robot boxing tournament.

‼️‼️🇺🇲 BIG | The USA for the first time shot down a fiber-optic drone The American company Epirus reported a significant breakthrough in the field of countering drones. Its microwave system "Leonidas" for the first time hit a drone with fiber-optic control - one of the most difficult targets for modern electronic warfare means. Previously, the complex had already hit a swarm of 49 drones, but the new test was particularly significant. In December 2025, at a closed test range of the US Army, the system was able to disable a fiber-optic UAV, depriving it of control and causing an uncontrolled fall. Fiber-optic drones, which are widely used today, including in the Ukrainian theater of operations, do not use radio control channels. The signal is transmitted via a thin fiber-optic cable, which makes such drones extremely difficult to detect and suppress. In a report by the US Army in 2024, such drones were called "one of the main threats to air defense systems and anti-drone warfare". The CEO of Epirus noted that the mass spread of fiber-optic UAVs has become a turning point in the evolution of unmanned warfare and has revealed a serious gap in anti-drone defense systems - a gap that "Leonidas" is designed to close. In 2025, Epirus received a contract for $43.5 million for the supply of two second-generation "Leonidas" systems. Its range of destruction is more than twice that of the first version; a 30% increase in power; there are built-in high-energy batteries; a reduction in dependence on external power supply. The system can be installed on: Stryker 8×8 armored vehicles, light tactical vehicles, other mobile platforms. See the latest updates with us: Visioner

The CEO of Epirus noted that the mass spread of fiber-optic UAVs has become a turning point in the evolution of unmanned warfare and has revealed a serious gap in anti-drone defense systems - a gap that "Leonidas" is designed to close. In 2025, Epirus received a contract for $43.5 million for the supply of two second-generation "Leonidas" systems. Its range of destruction is more than twice that of the first version; a 30% increase in power; there are built-in high-energy batteries; a reduction in dependence on external power supply. The system can be installed on: Stryker 8×8 armored vehicles, light tactical vehicles, other mobile platforms. See the latest updates with us: Visioner

The Fordow Enrichment Facility – Iran’s nuclear facility at Fordow is located approximately 100 kilometers southwest of Tehran. It was built under a mountain near the city of Qom and is protected by anti-aircraft batteries. The facility appears to have been designed to withstand aerial attacks. According to satellite imagery, its construction began between 2002 and 2004, but Iran only reported its existence to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in 2009, after Western intelligence agencies, led by the United States, exposed the facility. Fordow is a relatively small facility, capable of housing only about 3,000 centrifuges. This led analysts to believe that the site could be used to divert and rapidly enrich low-grade uranium (from 60% to 90% — the level required for nuclear weapons). Under the nuclear deal form 2015 (JCPOA), Iran agreed to halt enrichment at Fordow and convert the facility into a research center. However, after the U.S. withdrew from the agreement, Iran resumed its enrichment activities there. Recent IAEA reports indicate that Iran has increased its production of uranium enriched to 60% at the Fordow facility, which currently houses approximately 2,700 centrifuges. Reports suggest that Iran could convert its current stockpile of 60%-enriched uranium into roughly 233 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium within three weeks — enough for nine nuclear bombs. Fordow is a central focus in Israel’s efforts to disrupt and dismantle Iran’s nuclear program. However, the United States is the only country that possesses the type of bomb necessary to successfully strike the underground Fordow nuclear site from the air.

Karnataka has a significant and strategic contribution to India’s defence production, making it a strong contender for the establishment of two dedicated Defence Industrial Corridors—one each in North and South Karnataka. The state is responsible for 67% of the country’s defence aircraft and helicopter manufacturing and holds a 25% share in the national aircraft and spacecraft industry. South Karnataka has emerged as India’s aerospace innovation hub, while North Karnataka is rapidly developing into a prominent defence manufacturing zone. These regional strengths offer a balanced and scalable platform for the growth of India’s defence ecosystem. Karnataka has already laid a strong foundation to support large-scale defence and aerospace industries. The Belagavi Aerospace Special Economic Zone, India’s first precision manufacturing SEZ, and the Hi-Tech Aerospace & Defence Park in Devanahalli stand as critical infrastructure assets that reflect the state’s future-readiness. These facilities, combined with a skilled talent pool, robust policy framework, and world-class R&D capabilities, make Karnataka uniquely positioned to expand its role in national defence production. The state’s industrial growth story is further validated by the success of Invest Karnataka 2025, which secured investment commitments worth ₹10.27 lakh crore, with over 60% of manufacturing-related investments already realised. Karnataka is not just prepared—it is leading. With a proven track record and comprehensive ecosystem in place, Karnataka now seeks the Government of India’s support to scale these efforts into a national-level defence corridor, reinforcing India’s pursuit of self-reliance and global leadership in defence manufacturing. #Aerospaceanddefence #Karnataka #Belagavi #Bengaluru

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 A major fire has broken out at the Valero Energy refinery in Port Arthur, Texas — one of the largest and most critical refineries in the United States, known for producing JP-8 military jet fuel and diesel supplied to Israel and U.S. forces. The blaze started in a diesel hydrotreater unit (Unit 243) after a process fluid release and explosion on March 23. Thick black smoke is visible for miles, and the refinery has been temporarily shut down to contain the fire. No injuries have been reported so far, and a shelter-in-place order was issued for nearby residents before being lifted after air quality checks. JP-8 is a specialized military-grade jet fuel with additives for corrosion protection and anti-icing, critical for high-performance aircraft like F-35s and other fighter jets. Valero’s Port Arthur facility is one of the key U.S. producers of this fuel. This incident comes at a highly sensitive time amid the ongoing US-Israel-Iran conflict and global fuel supply strains caused by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The refinery (380,000 barrels per day capacity) is expected to restart later this week, but the diesel unit damage could tighten already strained fuel markets further. Developing situation — more updates as they come in. 🔥🛢️ #ValeroRefinery #PortArthurFire #JP8 #FuelCrisis

🇺🇸 The next-generation aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79), the second ship of the U.S. Navy’s Ford class, has successfully completed its first test of the nuclear propulsion system, marking the beginning of the final stage of preparations before delivery to the fleet. On September 29, 2025, in Newport News, Virginia, the 100,000-ton nuclear-powered carrier activated its propulsion system for the first time on the James River. During the trials, engineers tested the performance of the ship’s two A1B nuclear reactors and all four propeller shafts under key operational parameters — a major milestone before the start of sea trials, which are scheduled for early 2026. Despite a delayed schedule — with commissioning now expected in March 2027 due to the complexity of integrating numerous next-generation systems such as the EMALS electromagnetic catapults, Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG), and advanced radar suites — CVN-79 remains of strategic importance to the United States. Thanks to its power plant generating 25% more energy than that of Nimitz-class carriers, John F. Kennedy will not only be capable of higher daily sortie rates, but will also have sufficient energy reserves to support future high-energy weapons systems, including laser-based armaments. According to recent plans, the new carrier will operate a mixed air wing featuring F-35C fighters and MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial refueling drones. See the latest updates with us: NSTRIKE
