FUNDING OPPORTUNITY 🚨 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $10 million to support nuclear fuel recycling research with the goal of encouraging innovation and competitiveness of U.S.-based nuclear fuel recycling. The U.S. does not currently encourage commercial used nuclear fuel recycling but does conduct research and development to evaluate options as technology and economics develop ⚛️ Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gj4Fm6_T Office of Nuclear Energy | U.S. Department of Energy #nuclearenergy #nuclearpower #SNF

Happy New Year from the GAIN Team! 🎉 This past year demonstrated the impact of collaboration, and we’re proud of the progress we’ve made together ✨ Take a look at what we achieved in 2024 ⚛️ #nuclearenergy #advancedreactor #innovation #energytransition

Constellation is launching a pilot program allowing Washington, D.C. homes to be powered entirely by nuclear energy at 11.99 cents/kWh—lower than the average utility supply rate in D.C. 💡 The utility plans to expand this offering to more markets in 2025 📈 ⚡ 👉 Read more: https://brnw.ch/21wPE8b #nuclearpower #cleanenergy #nuclearenergy #energy

🚨 FUNDING OPPORTUNITY 🚨 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is offering up to $80M to advance high-assay low-enriched uranium, or HALEU, production 🔄 This funding will bolster the nation's energy security as there is currently no domestic supplier of HALEU, and several proposed advanced reactor technologies will require HALEU ⚛️ 📅 APPLICATIONS DUE: Feb. 26, 2025 More info: https://lnkd.in/gBqDU2ut Office of Nuclear Energy | U.S. Department of Energy #advancedreactor #HALEU #nuclearpower #nuclearenergy #tech #innovation

At the Wisconsin Public Utility Institute's U.S. Energy Overview, experts discussed the important role nuclear will play in our nation’s energy future 🌍💡 Leaders like GAIN’s Michelle Zietlow-Miller who spoke about the future of nuclear energy and building nuclear reactors at decommissioned coal plants 🏭⚡ Read more: https://lnkd.in/gi8iB-_7 #wisconsin #coaltonuclear #cleanenergy #energysecurity

NUCLEAR IN OREGON ➡️ Our director, Christine King, recently testified to Oregon state legislators about nuclear power ⚛️ Speaking about the benefits and future of nuclear energy, King answered questions about advanced nuclear front- and back-end supply chain along with technology costs 🏗️ Oregon currently limits the building of new nuclear reactors, but once had a nuclear power plant in the state that provided 1.1 GW of electricity to communities ⚡ 🔗 Learn more about how GAIN supports nuclear-curious communities: https://lnkd.in/eiMeWeRd #advancednuclear #tech #innovation #oregon

A domestic supply of low enriched uranium is key for the nation's clean energy and energy security goals. Take a look at the six companies the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) selected to compete for future work to supply LEU either as new enrichment facilities or to expand their existing capacity. #nuclearpower #cleanenergy #nuclearenergy #uranium

At the Mid-West Electric Consumers Association Annual Meeting this week? GAIN's Michelle Zietlow-Miller will be there presenting on the current state of nuclear, deployment timelines, and how nuclear may fit the needs of different states ⚛️

Meta, Facebook’s parent company, has put out a request for proposals for nuclear energy developers to work with them to deploy 1 – 4 GW of new nuclear generation ⚛️🏗️ Meta joins other tech companies like Google and Amazon turning to nuclear power for their growing energy needs 💡 Learn more: https://brnw.ch/21wPeCK
