NEI is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a lower court’s judgement that effectively upholds a decades-long ban on uranium mining in Virginia. NEI’s argument hinges on the need to maintain the established separation of federal and state regulatory authority over nuclear activities.
Colette Honorable, former commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, joins Monica Trauzzi for lunch in Washington, D.C.’s Dupont Circle during this second episode of “Off the Menu with Monica Trauzzi.”
A new class of nuclear reactors, with a core about the size of a roll of paper towels, can be set up by astronauts and then run autonomously for ten years, to produce water, rocket fuel and other necessities.
Proposal before the U.S. Department of Commerce to limit nuclear power plant operators access to global uranium supply sources is likely to create additional economic stress on an already vulnerable U.S. nuclear industry, a new study finds.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee today reported out by voice vote HR1320 and HR6140, two bills that recognize the important role nuclear energy plays in providing reliable, carbon-free electricity in the United States and around the world.
This week, DOE announced another round of awards, to the tune of nearly $20 million, to help develop nine domestic advanced nuclear technology projects.
House Energy and Commerce Committee successfully reported out the Nuclear Utilization of Keynote Energy Act and the Advanced Nuclear Fuel Availability Act.
“Off the Menu with Monica Trauzzi” features energy thought leaders at exciting spots in D.C.’s up-and-coming food scene. In each episode, Monica dives in to the energy issues of the moment in a thoughtful, dynamic way.
A new joint report by two think tanks cites the importance of nuclear energy sources in combating climate change to urge U.S. states to adopt Clean Energy Standards (CES)—which include nuclear power—instead of Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) that don’t.

This June 30 will mark three years without a leadership quorum at the Export-Import Bank of the United States (Ex-Im Bank), the nation’s official export credit agency that provides funding for domestic companies to compete in the global marketplace. Without a quorum on its board, the bank is unable to approve funding for projects larger than $10 million, putting U.S. nuclear suppliers and exporters at a distinct disadvantage.
As Norway's Halden test reactor announced this week it would be closing permanently, testing of advanced accident tolerant fuels in the United States continues apace. Meanwhile, Congress provided robust funding for DOE's ATF R&D program, demonstrating its continued support for innovation in nuclear fuels.
