March 2026 - Installation of a neutron radiography beamline neared completion, with planned capabilities for both thermal and experimental fast neutron imaging. Nucleon Power is also open to collaborative proposals from academic institutions.

January 2026 - Nucleon Power expanded its laboratory space in Oak Ridge, Tennessee by approximately 50%, creating additional capacity for diagnostics, beamlines, shielding, and the control room.

April 2025 - Gemini (Gen-3) completed a long-duration irradiation of a new bulk amorphous metal alloy, setting a Nucleon Power record for neutron flux and other key performance metrics.

March 2025 - At the MARC XIII conference, Nucleon Power presented a poster titled Diamond Detector with Novel Contacts for Neutron Spectroscopy. Detectors fabricated with scCVD diamond were paired with the company’s high-performance nucleonics to provide additional diagnostics for Gemini, its high-flux fusion neutron source.

September 2024 - Nucleon Power has been awarded an SBIR Phase I grant from the National Science Foundation for a project titled Hyper-Compact Neutron Generator for Advanced Detection

The first workshop on Additive Manufacturing and Advanced Materials in Fusion (AM2F) was held at MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) on May 6-8, 2024. Nucleon Power presented neutron irradiation capabilities for material testing with a talk titled A High-Flux DT Fusion Neutron Source for Achieving the Goals of FIRST (Fusion IrRadiation Simulation & Testing).

Nucleon Power attended the 29th IAEA Fusion Energy Conference in London, UK the week of October 16, 2023, and presented a poster titled Experimental Evaluation of Unstructured Grid Neutron Transport Code.
