Did you know? The U.S. generates more nuclear power than anywhere else. With 94 operating reactors, the U.S. has the largest nuclear fleet in the world. At Urenco USA we proudly supply enriched uranium to operators across the country, and our current enrichment capacity can provide nearly one-third of the US demand for enriched uranium. As the sector grows, #UUSA has the ability to double its capacity, effectively supplying uranium to meet two-thirds of our country’s nuclear energy needs right here on American soil. https://ow.ly/S3W050TEgpN #NuclearEnergy #NuclearRenaissance #NuclearPower #EnergyDemand

This Fall, fifth graders throughout Lea County enjoy hands-on experiments and learning about the #scientificmethod from #UUSA volunteers. A majority of our UUSA employees call Lea County home and enjoy interacting with teachers and students throughout the community. Some volunteers even have the fun opportunity to spend the day with their child and their child's classmates.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Commissioner Annie Caputo and the Technical Assistant for Materials Celimar Valentin-Rodriguez toured the #UrencoUSA uranium enrichment facility in Eunice, New Mexico on September 16. They interacted with employees as they viewed the centrifuge halls, the cylinder receipt and dispatch area, control room, centrifuge assembly building, and other key aspects of the plant. Commissioner Caputo spent time with #UUSA senior management to further discuss challenges and opportunities within the #nuclearfuelcycle and progress of #advancedfuels. While in the New Mexico and Texas area, Commissioner Caputo and Valentin-Rodriguez planned to tour other nuclear related facilities.

Support for nuclear energy is on the rise! A new survey by Resources for the Future and Stanford University researchers shows that Americans are increasingly embracing nuclear power. • Public approval of tax breaks for the construction of new nuclear power plants is up 10 points from 2020. • Nuclear power stands alone as the only energy source to see a significant boost in approval, outpacing solar, wind, coal, and natural gas, over the past four years. • Since 2013, nuclear energy as a source of electricity has grown in public approval by over 10 points. The message is clear: Americans believe that nuclear has a role in addressing climate change. Urenco USA is proud to support America's clean energy goals, fueling the nuclear renaissance and developing sustainable solutions for the future. https://ow.ly/UR2150TpzGy #UrencoUSA #NuclearEnergy #NuclearRenaissance #Energy #Climate

Each year #UrencoUSA collaborates with local organizations to pay tribute to the victims of 9/11 through community service projects in both Eunice and Hobbs, NM. “UUSA employees look forward to participating in the event each year and making a difference in our community,” said Lisa Hardison, Head of Communications and Public Relations. “This began as a grassroots project by a few employees in 2008 and has evolved to a participation of nearly 300 employees and their family members for UUSA’s largest annual community service project of the year.” Volunteers worked with Habitat for Humanity International of Hobbs last weekend to ready a home for a new family and has plans to work with Isaiah's Kitchen and the Eunice Shooting Training Range later this month. #Community #NeverForget #DayOfRemembrance

Today at the World Nuclear Association Symposium, we discussed the impressive developments in the nuclear sector and the current, strong momentum. I raised three things that would support this. - Political ambitions have to be further translated into political actions. - The tripling of nuclear capacity needs both AMRs and SMRs together with large scale builds. - Investment decisions in the fuel cycle should be based on market signals. We at Urenco are proud to play our part in the fantastic progress nuclear is making. #nuclearsympo

The Office of Nuclear Energy, U.S. Department of Energy's latest report highlights key trends in nuclear energy workforce development, including: •60% of workers are between the ages of 30-54—higher than both the broader energy sector and national average. •Nuclear energy workers on average earn 50% more than their counterparts in other electricity generation sources. •The need for young talent is growing--90% of professional and business services employers report challenges in finding qualified workers—largely due to the belief that a 4-year degree is required. At #UUSA we’re helping prepare the next generation of nuclear talent. From our educational programs like Richie Enrichment, to our academic partnerships with local institutions like Career and Technical Education Center of Hobbs #CTECH and the New Mexico Junior College, #NMJC and through our scholarship opportunities, we’re working to inspire and equip future leaders with the skills and opportunities they need to thrive in this vital industry. #Workforce #NuclearEnergy #Education #Academia #Talent

This week I visited our Urenco USA site in Eunice, New Mexico, (pictured: me with USA colleague, Lisa). We saw the #capacity extension programme on-site, which is progressing well. This will help maintain our overall capacity alongside projects at our other sites and will come online from next year. This is part of our efforts to strengthen both global #energysecurity and energy independence. So, thank you to the teams who are working on this. #nuclear #energy
