Congratulations to the four companies who have received a GAIN nuclear energy voucher ⚡ ⚛️ Curio LV will partner with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to analyze NuCycle, Curio’s process for recycling spent nuclear fuel. ⚛️ Deep Fission will collaborate with Idaho National Laboratory to develop a RELAP5-3D model of Deep Fission’s reactor design to evaluate its thermal hydraulics. ⚛️ Kairos Power will work with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to refine measurement methods used to monitor the chemistry of its reactor’s salt coolant. ⚛️ NuCube Energy will work with Idaho National Laboratory to receive computational analysis assistance to assess the performance and optimize the design of its reactor’s heat exchanger. GAIN NE vouchers provide advanced nuclear technology innovators with access to the world-class expertise and resources at U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories 🔬💡 Read more: https://brnw.ch/21wPxc7 Office of Nuclear Energy | U.S. Department of Energy #advancednuclear #innovation #tech #nuclearenergy

At the Wisconsin Public Utility Institute's U.S. Energy Overview, experts discussed the important role nuclear will play in our nation’s energy future 🌍💡 Leaders like GAIN’s Michelle Zietlow-Miller who spoke about the future of nuclear energy and building nuclear reactors at decommissioned coal plants 🏭⚡ Read more: https://lnkd.in/gi8iB-_7 #wisconsin #coaltonuclear #cleanenergy #energysecurity

NUCLEAR IN OREGON ➡️ Our director, Christine King, recently testified to Oregon state legislators about nuclear power ⚛️ Speaking about the benefits and future of nuclear energy, King answered questions about advanced nuclear front- and back-end supply chain along with technology costs 🏗️ Oregon currently limits the building of new nuclear reactors, but once had a nuclear power plant in the state that provided 1.1 GW of electricity to communities ⚡ 🔗 Learn more about how GAIN supports nuclear-curious communities: https://lnkd.in/eiMeWeRd #advancednuclear #tech #innovation #oregon

A domestic supply of low enriched uranium is key for the nation's clean energy and energy security goals. Take a look at the six companies the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) selected to compete for future work to supply LEU either as new enrichment facilities or to expand their existing capacity. #nuclearpower #cleanenergy #nuclearenergy #uranium

At the Mid-West Electric Consumers Association Annual Meeting this week? GAIN's Michelle Zietlow-Miller will be there presenting on the current state of nuclear, deployment timelines, and how nuclear may fit the needs of different states ⚛️

Meta, Facebook’s parent company, has put out a request for proposals for nuclear energy developers to work with them to deploy 1 – 4 GW of new nuclear generation ⚛️🏗️ Meta joins other tech companies like Google and Amazon turning to nuclear power for their growing energy needs 💡 Learn more: https://brnw.ch/21wPeCK
