Contracts Will Allow Companies to Compete for Work to Provide Deconversion Services and Help Secure Domestic HALEU for Advanced Reactors to Strengthen America’s Leadership in Nuclear Energy

Final EIS analyzing potential impacts of the Department’s proposed action to acquire, through procurement from commercial sources, high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) and to facilitate the establishment of commercial HALEU fuel production.

Test bed is needed to supply critical testing infrastructure for microreactor technologies.

Department of Energy Launches $100 Million Nuclear Safety Training and Workforce Development Program
New funding aims to grow reactor safety training programs and curriculum nationwide.

Awarded projects help to advance accident tolerant fuels, inform reactor fuel designs, and perform research to sustain the nation’s current light-water reactor fleet.

Awards help to accelerate the innovation and advancement of microreactor technologies, identification of potential sites capable of hosting a nuclear-powered data center, and research to prevent corrosion in molten salt reactors.
Leaders from the U.S., Canada, France, Japan, and the United Kingdom, referred to as the Sapporo 5, released the joint statement today on the margins of the 68th International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference in Vienna, Austria.

Joint statement calls for all countries to join the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage (CSC) as a key element in achieving the full potential of nuclear energy.

U.S. Department of Energy study shows 41 operating and retired nuclear power plant sites have room to host new reactors.

Awarded projects to support the licensing and regulation of HALEU – a crucial material needed to demonstrate and deploy advanced nuclear reactors.
