From Marie Curie to the discovery of fission, nuclear submarines, and small modular reactors for chemical manufacturing and AI data centers, nuclear science and technology has advanced for more than a century: lsu.edu/blog/2025/11... #LSU @entergy.com @lsuengineering.bsky.social

It’s as big as a poppy seed and makes “new nuclear” significantly safer than nuclear technology used to be—meet the TRISO particle, developed by American and British researchers. lsu.edu/blog/2025/11... #LSU @entergy.com @lsuengineering.bsky.social

Nuclear energy can be used as a source of both power and heat, highly useful for industrial operations and to efficiently make hydrogen, used to make ammonia and fertilizer for crops. So, more nuclear, more food? It's possible: lsu.edu/blog/2025/11... #LSU @entergy.com @lsuengineering.bsky.social

Whether your priority is more energy and a strong economy or less emissions and a sustainable planet, nuclear energy tends to enter the conversation. Learn more about LSU’s approach: www.lsu.edu/blog/2025/11... #LSU @entergy.com @lsuengineering.bsky.social
