Thank you U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Office of Nuclear Energy | U.S. Department of Energy for the opportunity! https://lnkd.in/eFFk4HDC

It was great to have our CEO Edward McGinnis on the leaders on a mission podcast. Our CEO discussed the second nuclear era and the closed fuel cycle. https://lnkd.in/ewtKM8AQ

Celebrate the 82nd Anniversary of Fermi's self-sustaining chain reaction of December 2nd, 1942. Nuclear energy must be part of America’s global energy dominance and our return to energy independence here at home! Curio LV #NuclearEnergyDay

World Nucpear Energy Day!!!

We agree with NM Senator Ben Ray Luján 🤝 "Reprocessing [nuclear waste] ☢️ should be part of the discussion, understanding how expensive it is [...] If there’s something that goes in the ground, it should be the smallest amount.” At Curio LV, we've been pushing the envelope of what's possible with reprocessing and are up for the challenge. With our NuCycle were proving you can reduce waste by more than 97% and usher in the second nuclear era... #NuclearDebate #Sustainability #EnergySolutions #NuclearRenaissance https://lnkd.in/ekijFy4m

The recent developments in the nuclear energy sector underscore the critical need for innovative solutions like Curio's NuCycle™ process. This advanced nuclear waste recycling technology offers a sustainable approach to managing spent nuclear fuel, transforming it into reusable materials and reducing the long-term environmental impact. Key Developments: 1. U.S. Imports of Enriched Uranium from China: The United States has been importing enriched uranium products (EUP) from China, with state-owned China National Nuclear Corp. (CNNC) supplying these materials to U.S. nuclear fuel customers. This arrangement leverages discounted Russian EUP, allowing CNNC to secure long-term contracts. 2. TerraPower's HALEU Enrichment Facility in South Africa: TerraPower has announced plans to establish a high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) enrichment facility in South Africa, in partnership with ASP Isotopes. This initiative aims to support the startup of TerraPower's advanced reactors, which depend on a stable HALEU supply. 3. Russia's Nuclear Waste Agreement with South Africa: Russia's state nuclear company, Rosatom, has entered into an agreement with a South African nuclear company focused on decommissioning and radioactive waste management. This partnership outlines plans for collaborative efforts in scientific, technical, and commercial activities related to the decommissioning of nuclear power plants and other facilities that pose nuclear and radiation hazards. Implications: These developments highlight a growing dependence on foreign entities for critical components of the nuclear fuel cycle in the United States, this raises our concerns about national security and energy independence. Relying on external sources for enriched uranium and related services exposes the U.S. to geopolitical risks and potential supply chain disruptions. The Role of NuCycle™: Curio's NuCycle™ process presents a viable solution to these challenges by: Reducing Dependence on Foreign Sources: By recycling spent nuclear fuel domestically, NuCycle™ can diminish the need for imported enriched uranium, thereby enhancing national energy security. Promoting Environmental Sustainability: NuCycle™ transforms nuclear waste into reusable materials, reducing the environmental impact associated with long-term storage and disposal. Supporting Advanced Reactor Technologies: The process produces fuel suitable for advanced reactors, aligning with initiatives like TerraPower's, which require a reliable supply of high-assay low-enriched uranium. Conclusion: Integrating innovative recycling technologies such as NuCycle™ into the U.S. nuclear energy strategy is essential for achieving energy independence, enhancing national security, and promoting environmental sustainability. By reducing reliance on foreign sources and effectively managing nuclear waste, the U.S. can secure a more stable and self-reliant energy future.

Boundless Impact Research & Analytics is proud to support Curio LV's groundbreaking NuCycle process, which, as our recent Life Cycle Assessment shows, can reduce the nuclear industry's #carbon #emissions by up to 87%. Leveraging our expertise in science-based environmental impact analysis, Boundless’ #LCA methodology was instrumental in validating NuCycle’s performance and environmental benefits through an ISO-compliant approach. This study not only highlights NuCycle’s potential but also reflects Boundless’ commitment to driving meaningful investment into technologies that redefine #cleanenergy. Together, we're setting the stage for a sustainable, low-carbon nuclear future. https://lnkd.in/eTCWTEWm
