Hey, 👋 Wolf Creek! Looking good for your 40th decade as a nuclear powerhouse steadily generating electricity, jobs, and economic development. Who else is going to #WM2025? @evergypower.bsky.social

Orano to supply Energoatom, Ukraine's nuclear energy operator, with enriched uranium to fuel their reactors. #NukeSky #EnergySky ⚛️ www.linkedin.com/posts/orano-...

Japan's Federation of Electric Power Companies has announced that a total of 400 tonnes of used nuclear fuel, instead of the originally planned 200 tonnes, will now be transported to Orano in France for research on the reprocessing of used mixed oxide fuel. www.world-nuclear-news.org/articles/fre...

Spreading the news ... especially for those impacted by recent job actions ... this is a great tool to find a job in the nuclear energy industry. #NukeSky #EnergySky #jobs nuclearworks.org/map-for-comp...

Key point in this @axios.com Information Gods article: “The burden now falls on **you** to find sources of information you trust for reliable truth. That means better scrutinizing not only the publications you choose, but the individuals you follow on social media.” www.axios.com/2025/01/08/m...

A good #EnergyTransition question …

I like this train of thinking, @wmata.com!

Apparently there were fewer bad people than expected in 2024. We could send this surplus Santa coal to Germany—they’re still burning it since Greenpeace helped convince them to shut down nuclear energy first instead of fossil fuels. 🔌💡 #NukeSky

Happy NewYear!

Thank you, Arlington National Cemetary, for the commitment, respect, and celebration. It means a lot for family members.

Listen to what Grumpy said. #NukeSky 🔌💡

“Don’t make me tap the sign.gif” This is a really good entry by @hannahritchie.bsky.social and she also has a very nice post about nuclear on her substack www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/nuclear-lo...

DC residents can now power their homes with 100% clean nuclear energy ⚛️, through a new retail pilot program from Constellation. 🔌💡 #NukeSky www.constellationenergy.com/newsroom/202...

DOE names 6 companies to compete for supply of low-enriched uranium (LEU) to support the U.S. nuclear power fleet ⚛️. Seeks to reduce reliance on Russian imports and build out a resilient fuel supply chain for the U.S. nuclear industry. 🔌💡 #NukeSky #uranium www.powermag.com/six-companie...

NEWS: Orano Awarded DOE LEU Enrichment Contract. Orano is one of only two of the awardees currently producing and providing commercial quantities of enriched uranium to US reactors. Its American #ProjectIke enrichment site would use Orano’s modern centrifuge tech. www.orano.group/usa/en/our-n...

… and now for 30 seconds of calming sunset clouds and engine white noise. #ASMR

Oak Ridge, TN, was the first U.S. site for uranium enrichment and is on track to be the nation’s site for Orano’s new Project Ike enrichment facility, along with a growing community of advanced reactor developers. 🔌💡 #NukeSky www.ornl.gov/nuclearishere

One of the biggest hesitations people have about expanding low-carbon 24/7 nuclear power is the waste. I wrote up a page explaining what's up with nuclear waste and how we can and do deal with. I also bought the domain whataboutthewaste.com to redirect to that particular page for convenience :)

TODAY: Orano is hiring for the #ProjectIke enrichment facility development with an in-person job fair from 4-7:00 p.m. ET at their Bethesda headquarters for positions in Oak Ridge, TN, and Bethesda, MD. Open jobs also posted online. www.orano.group/usa/en/our-n... #OranoHires

Q: What to do with nuclear waste? A: Bravo! Canada is latest country to develop permanent repository for nuclear waste. Of course, best to first recycle ♻️ the 96% of valuable material in used nuclear fuel and then dispose of just 4% remaining waste. As Orano USA says … #itsonlywasteifyouwasteit!

Power up! Jobs, economy, industry, clean energy—all generated via your local nuclear energy site. #MorePlease

NEWS: Orano begins hiring for Project Ike Enrichment Facility in Tennessee. A Job Fair on December 3 in Bethesda, MD, and online postings promote open job positions, including roles based in Oak Ridge, TN, and Bethesda, MD. www.orano.group/usa/en/our-n...

New report: “…examples of the growing [Adv. Energy] industry in Eastern Tennessee include Kairos Power… and #Orano selecting Tenn. as its preferred site to construct a multi-billion-dollar, state-of-the-art centrifuge uranium enrichment facility.” #ProjectIke www.tnadvancedenergy.com/advanced-ene...

As part of this afternoon’s #HALEU panel at #ANSWinter2024, each of us panelists have a couple of minutes to warm up the crowd before the Q&A. I titled my few slides, “What’s hard about HALEU?” 😬🔥 Hope to see you there!

The U.S. announced a 3x expansion of nuclear energy by 2050. That represents an incredible 10x expansion of current U.S. domestic enrichment supply. Orano’s Project Ike enrichment facility planned for Oak Ridge, TN, is designed as a major source for reliable, diversified, domestic capacity.

An example of two HALEUs being better than one ... "However, we believe that [Orano USA's] ability to co-locate the two technologies—the enrichment and deconversion of HALEU—can save time for the DOE to achieve the first HALEU production.” #nukesky www.reutersevents.com/nuclear/us-d...
