About us
The Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) mission is to advance nuclear power to meet the nation's energy, environmental, and national security needs. Under the guidance of three research objectives, NE resolves barriers to technical, cost, safety, security, and proliferation resistance through early-stage research, development, and demonstration to: -Enhance the long-term viability and competitiveness of the existing U.S. reactor fleet. -Develop an advanced reactor pipeline. -Implement and maintain national strategic fuel cycle and supply chain infrastructure.

ACCESS GRANTED 🔑: This facility at Argonne National Laboratory is home to an ion beam accelerator and transmission electron microscope that can simulate a year’s worth of reactor irradiation damage in just one day. North Carolina State University researchers will be able to use the facility to study how materials respond to irradiation as part of our Rapid Turnaround Experiment awards announced today.

BREAKING GROUND: United States Department of Defense breaks ground on its Project Pele microreactor project at Idaho National Laboratory. DoD is planning to design, build, and demonstrate a transportable high-temperature gas reactor that will operate at the lab for a minimum of three years. The reactor will be manufactured by BWX Technologies, Inc. and connected to INL’s microgrid producing 1-to-5 megawatts of electrical power. The demonstration is being led by DoD’s Strategic Capabilities Office and could be one of the first advanced reactors to operate the U.S. as early as 2026. BWXT will also leverage its experience from the project to advance its civil-focused BANR microreactor, which is being supported through our Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program.

BREAKING: Constellation announces plans to restart Three Mile Island Unit 1! ➡️ The company signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft to provide carbon-free electricity for its data centers. ➡️ Constellation predicts that bringing Unit 1 back online will return approximately 835 megawatts of carbon-free energy to the grid, create 3,400 direct and indirect jobs, and deliver $3 billion in state and federal taxes. Three Mile Island Unit 1 led nuclear energy safety and reliability standards for decades until it was retired for economic reasons in 2019. To prepare for the restart, investments will be made to restore the plant, including the turbine, generator, main power transformer and cooling and control systems. Constellation will seek approval to restart the reactor from the NRC, state and local agencies. The company also plans to pursue license renewal that would extend plant operations to at least 2054. The nuclear plant will be renamed the Crane Clean Energy Center and is expected to be online in 2028. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eCyecG2g
