On October 6th, Iran suddenly shut down its airspace. Less than two hours later, Iran reported a 4.4-magnitude earthquake, in a province located around 130 kilometers from the capital Tehran. Seismic activity and military airspace closures, at the same time? Is this a coincidence, or did Iran conduct an underground nuclear test?

Has Iran become a nuclear weapons power in secret?

The future of energy is on the brink of transformation, driven by the rising demand for power from emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and electric vehicles. As these sectors grow, so does the need for a reliable, clean energy supply that can keep up with the pace of innovation. One potential solution lies in small modular reactors, a new wave of nuclear energy that promises to meet these demands efficiently and sustainably.
