A nuclear revival will need focus on commercial deployment. Right now, there’s a lot of noise. I wrote about how to compare the 20 current nuclear projects’ progress towards commercialization for @TheNatlInterest nationalinterest.org/blog/en…

California's last remaining nuclear plant is staying alive.
The @NRCgov today approved @PGE4Me’s 20-year license renewal application for extended operations of Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The NRC confirmed Diablo Canyon meets the highest standards for nuclear safety, environmental protection, and operational excellence. This milestone belongs to our dedicated coworkers who safely operate this plant every day and to the four million Californians we are proud to power.

It’s not just US nuclear that needs us to move fast on fuel supply. Our allies are depending on us too. I wrote about it! thirdway.org/memo/fully-fuel…
Third Way's @RowenPrice recently talked to @NEI about the need for a secure nuclear supply chain. The longer the US waits to bolster HALEU/LEU production, the more entrenched our adversaries become in the global market.

Not everyone gets to visit the two new advanced AP1000 modular reactors at Plant Vogtle in the United States. This is your chance to see one up close, bricks size.​ Real AP1000 units are now faster and more cost effective to build because of our modular design and mature supply chain.​ Want to try building a bricks-size AP1000 reactor yourself? We're giving away another five Westinghouse bricks sets to people who reshare this post. We'll draw names on Monday from everyone who reposted! Can't wait to share the fun!

Proof that 5 units of new (brick) nuclear gets us to commercial-scale deployment? 🤞
George Westinghouse would marvel at the incredible advances in nuclear technology that our namesake company has made over the last 75 years. About half of all the world’s nuclear power plants are based on Westinghouse nuclear technology. ​ Last week, “Bricks George” unveiled our advanced modular AP1000® PWR bricks set. You can see his bricks engineering buddy working below on a new AP1000 unit, just like the ones we are deploying across the world. ​ Now, we're giving away five Westinghouse bricks sets to people who reshare this post. We'll draw names on Monday from everyone who reposted!​ You can build a mini-Westinghouse nuclear reactor at home!

Excited to see the release of this joint paper between @InstituteGC and @ThirdWayEnergy on #artificialintelligence driving renewed demand for #nuclearenergy. Cooperation between the US and UK can help accelerate the commercialization of #advancednuclear and usher in this new era
Replying to @InstituteGC
But a new nuclear age is beginning, offering the UK a significant opportunity to lead. As early pioneers of nuclear, the UK should harness new technologies to power its AI future and economy. Our paper sets out a bold strategy to do this: institute.global/insights/cl…

Absolutely huge news out of @amazon. A truly historic week for #advancednuclear and #nuclearenergy!
@amazon and X-energy are collaborating to expand zero-carbon power with advanced small modular reactors. Amazon’s Climate Pledge Fund, along with Citadel Founder and CEO Ken Griffin, affiliates of @ares_management, NGP, and the @UMich, have invested $500 million to support X-energy’s technology and future projects.

Truly a massive milestone for #advancednuclear and #nuclearenergy. Sends a huge signal to the market and highlights how to get these innovative reactors to commercial viability: by spurring the build-out of multiples of the same design/technology.
1/ Today, @Google signed the world’s first corporate agreement to purchase clean nuclear energy from a series of small modular reactors (SMRs), to be developed by @KairosPower - our first-ever advanced nuclear deal. ⚛ Our blog: blog.google/outreach-initiat…

Great to hear the Sapporo 5 members have surpassed their original commitment of $4.2B in funding for nuclear fuel supply! These investments will help foster a robust, reliable #fuelsupply for the US and our allies to power a new surge of reactor deployments ⚛️

The US and other countries are working hard to expand nuclear energy deployment. But how will wider deployment impact global nonproliferation requirements? Third Way’s @RowenPrice joined the INMM Annual Meeting to share her research on safeguarding new reactors.

We’ve had some big legislative wins for nuclear fuel. Now, we need to make the most of this opportunity through sustained federal interagency collaboration. Check out how ⬇️
In Third Way's latest, @RowenPrice explains why a stable US nuclear fuel industry is crucial for our national security, calling for unified federal action to strengthen supply chains. Read⬇️ thirdway.org/memo/implementi…

The Russian uranium ban is the most consequential step to date to end Putin's chokehold on the global nuclear marketplace. We thank POTUS and our bipartisan partners in Congress for their commitment to reassert US global leadership in nuclear energy. axios.com/2024/05/14/biden-r…

Thanks @NEI for having me for this critical discussion on building out US nuclear fuel supply chains.
Third Way's @RowenPrice speaks at the @NEI Nuclear Supply Chain Forum on the importance of US leadership in nuclear energy. A strong domestic fuel supply is critical not only for US energy security but also for our national security interests.
