“Texas is the place that gets things done” + "Texas: The Energy Capital of the World" => Texas gets nuclear done!

“Everyone’s coming together, believing that they can do this” Ryan Pickering gave us his thoughts on Texas’ position in the nuclear market, and what makes this state special. Tackling climate change and energy security will require us all to come together, work hard, and be honest with ourselves, the way Texas has a history of doing, and can continue to do that with nuclear.

“Texas is the place that gets things done” Thank you so much to Leah Crider of Westinghouse Electric Company. Leah shared with us what she believes makes Texas different and positions itself for a key role in the nuclear industry going forward. Strong public support and companies leading the charge will be crucial for Texas’ success. It’s #TimeToBuild. Texas Nuclear Alliance Veronica Annala #ChangeTheNAROtive #nuclear #texas

“Texas is the place, period” Hear from Carl Perez, CEO of Exodys Energy, who is developing deployable fuel recycling systems. There’s a lot of discussion about how Texas has the potential to be an industry leader in all phases of the fuel cycle, and we’re glad to know Carl feels strongly about the opportunity at hand.

Let’s talk about last week… NARO officers Veronica Annala, Gabriel Ivory, and Harrison Sanchez were honored to attend the inaugural Texas Nuclear Summit hosted by the Texas Nuclear Alliance in Austin. Nuclear industry leaders were invited to Texas to see first hand what makes this state so special, and poised to lead the country and world in this nuclear renaissance. We’re going to be posting some conversations about Texas’ role in the nuclear world, led by our President Veronica Annala with attendees of the conference, so stay tuned! Big thanks to Will Howard and the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Texas A&M University for making this experience possible! #nuclear #texas #nuclearadvocacy #changetheNAROtive #nuclearenergy

Check out this fantastic article from the LA Times, highlighting the generational shift in support of nuclear energy. NARO was created for this exact purpose. We believe it is our generations turn to make things right, and one of the ways to do that is through education and advocacy of nuclear energy. We are so honored that our President Veronica Annala and VP Gabriel Ivory were featured as a part of this article. Special thanks to Noah Haggerty for this work. Great job to Jenifer Avellaneda Diaz, Heather Hoff, Matt Wargon, P.E., Nuclear is Clean Energy Club (NiCE), and others for their testimony and work promoting nuclear! #changetheNAROtive #nuclear #nuclearadvocacy #latimes #nuclearenergy #genz

☢️ You Shouldn’t be Afraid of Nuclear Waste On Saturday, before the New Mexico State football game, NARO members stood outside the stadium, engaging with the public about nuclear waste. Many people approached us thinking nuclear waste was something out of the Simpsons—green, glowing goo. But after chatting with us, they learned the reality is far different. Nuclear waste, while often misunderstood, is carefully managed and regulated to ensure safety. 90% of nuclear waste (by volume) is simply material that has had the potential of coming in contact with radioactive materials (i.e. rags, towels, or gloves). The "scary" stuff only makes up 3% by volume and is just Uranium metal rods that have spent 18-24 months providing clean, carbon-free electricity. The truth is nuclear waste is the most secure form of energy byproduct. Our conversations aimed to demystify the subject and replace the images of green goo in people’s minds with the real thing. It's crucial to educate the public and shift the NAROtive around nuclear waste. It's not about fear; it's about facts and finding sustainable solutions for the future. Let's keep the conversation going. #NuclearEnergy #changetheNAROtive #Sustainability #PublicEngagement #EnergyInnovation #nuclearwaste

Nuclear waste is the biggest issue with nuclear energy!? These students think so. These are just a few of the responses we got on our most recent survey, which revealed students' largest concern with nuclear energy: nuclear waste. Here are some of the reasons they gave. #nuclearenergy #nuclearwaste #waste #nuclearadvocacy #narotive #naro #survey #results

What's your problem? 👉 We had over 300 respondents for our most recent survey that aims to figure out what concerns college students have about nuclear energy - if any at all. We thought the results were very interesting. What do you think? Stay tuned for an in depth look at some of the responses to our free response question, giving us more insight into the students thought processes surrounding their answers. #nuclearadvocacy #naro #nuclearenergy #nuclear #survey #response #aggies
