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.

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!

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!
Replying to @amazon
@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…

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.

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…

The House passed H.R. 6544 by a vote of 365-36 (2/3 required for passage).
The House has returned. It is now voting on H.R. 6544 - Atomic Energy Advancement Act.

ICYMI: The Biden admin is putting $1.5B into reviving a nuclear power plant in Michigan, as part of the administration's plan to bolster clean energy production. Nuclear energy is critical for both our national security interests and energy independence. news.yahoo.com/biden-offer-1…

The Biden Administration's #nuclearenergy agenda has arguably been the boldest in decades, and this announcement does nothing to contradict that. The focus now should be on the buildout domestic uranium enrichment capacity to secure our nuclear fuel supply.
This is absolutely misleading. @POTUS has made tremendous progress for nuclear energy. We don't lack raw uranium. We do need enrichment capacity that Russia dominates. Will the GOP adequately fund DOE's domestic fuel infrastructure? THAT would increase US energy security.

Congratulations to both @DowNewsroom and @xenergynuclear for this momentous announcement. #nuclearenergy will be critical to decarbonizing our energy-intensive industrial sectors and achieving progress on #climate
Our Seadrift, #Texas site will become home to our proposed advanced #NuclearEnergy project with @xenergynuclear. Check out the timeline and learn how it will nearly eliminate the emissions associated with power/steam generation.

Last year, @Energy announced it intends to draft a #HALEU Request for Proposal. Fast forward to 2023. This action cannot come soon enough. Let’s discuss why 🧵 1/
