Where to Find Podcasts, Features and Most-Read Stories on World Nuclear News

Updated

The Podcasts & Features section and the Most Read list are both reachable from the World Nuclear News homepage (world-nuclear-news.org). Podcasts and features appear as a labelled block of dated items, with an "All Podcasts & Features" link at the end of the block; Most Read sits further down the same page as a ranked list of headlines. Both are open to any visitor — the site describes itself as "a public information service of World Nuclear Association," and nothing on the homepage gates these sections behind a login.

Podcasts & Features

The homepage presents this section as a set of entries, each with a title, the label "Podcasts & Features," and a date. Recent examples from the page:

  • "Viewpoint: Unlocking ASEAN's nuclear potential - a case for regulatory convergence on SMRs" — Friday, 16 October 2026
  • "Podcast: World Nuclear Symposium 2026" — Friday, 9 October 2026
  • "Podcast: Why is the World Nuclear Investment Guide needed?" — Friday, 31 July 2026
  • "Chernobyl at 40: Wildlife and science in the exclusion zone" — Friday, 24 April 2026
  • "Podcast: China's ambitious plans for new nuclear capacity" — Monday, 13 April 2026
  • "Podcast: What should be the target time to build a nuclear plant?" — Tuesday, 10 February 2026

Note that the block mixes two formats: written viewpoints and audio podcasts, distinguished only by the "Podcast:" prefix in the title. If you want audio only, scan titles for that prefix rather than assuming the whole section is audio.

The full listing

The "All Podcasts & Features" link closes the block and leads to the complete archive rather than the handful shown on the homepage. Use it when you want older episodes or viewpoints that have rolled off the front page — the homepage block only surfaces the most recent items, and the dates above show gaps of weeks or months between entries.

Most Read

The Most Read section is a ranked list of popular news items, each with a topic category and date. At the time of the page snapshot it contained:

Headline Category Date
Multiple milestones for India's nuclear projects New Nuclear Friday, 16 October 2026
Mochovce 4 connected to the grid New Nuclear Friday, 16 October 2026
Bangladesh's Rooppur 1 achieves criticality New Nuclear Monday, 12 October 2026
Poland begins ordering long-lead components for first AP1000 New Nuclear Thursday, 8 October 2026
China's Tianwan 7 connected to the grid New Nuclear Thursday, 8 October 2026
Deployable Energy to test its Unity nuclear battery in DOME New Nuclear Wednesday, 7 October 2026

Two things stand out for a reader using this list. First, it is popularity-ranked, not chronological — the ordering reflects what other visitors are reading, so it can lag or lead the main news feed. Second, the snapshot is heavily weighted toward reactor construction milestones (grid connections, criticality, component orders), which makes Most Read a quick way to catch up on projects nearing completion rather than on policy or fuel-cycle news.

Reading Individual Articles by Topic

Every headline on the homepage — in the main feed, in Podcasts & Features, and in Most Read — carries a category label such as Nuclear Policies, Regulation & Safety, New Nuclear, or Uranium & Fuel. These labels are the practical way to follow a theme: a story like "Indiana considering 6 GW Candu nuclear project" is filed under New Nuclear, while "Joint venture to produce HALEU in South Africa" sits under Uranium & Fuel. The homepage excerpt also shows the same feature repeated in more than one block (the ASEAN SMR viewpoint appears twice), so expect some overlap between sections.

Practical Tips

  • Start at the homepage for the current Podcasts & Features block and Most Read list; both are visible without scrolling through the full news feed.
  • Follow "All Podcasts & Features" for the archive — the homepage shows only recent entries.
  • Filter by title prefix to separate audio podcasts from written viewpoints.
  • Use category labels on individual articles to track a beat; Most Read alone skews toward construction news.
  • Check dates before treating an item as current — the page snapshot spans entries from February to October 2026.

For readers who want a single habit: check Most Read for project milestones, then the Podcasts & Features block for analysis and interviews, and use the category labels to go deeper on whichever topic matters to you.
