NEW ECA REPORT - FROM THE ATOMIC AGE TO NEW NUCLEAR: ENERGY COMMUNITIES READY TO HELP UNLEASH NUCLEAR POWER
Communities across the country that were once home to government nuclear sites and/or former commercial energy plants are ready to help the United States today unleash the next wave of nuclear technologies, according to a new white paper from the Energy Communities Alliance (ECA). In its paper, “From the Atomic Age to New Nuclear,” ECA outlines a host of projects
either underway or currently planned at sites across the county to support new nuclear development across the fuel cycle.
WHAT YOU'VE MISSED: U.S. uranium production up as companies press “go” on dormant operations U.S. uranium production increased throughout 2024, with more growth planned in 2025. The producers who can make that happen, however, were burned before by a “renaissance” that didn’t take off. Now they are watching and waiting for signals from Washington, D.C., including the impacts of tariffs, shifting relationships with global uranium producers, and funding for the enrichment
task orders designed to boost demand for U.S. uranium.

Sneed, who served as executive director of the office under the first Trump administration, was reappointed in a transitional capacity in January. The original contract was for 30 days, though
the period was extended twice. However, almost exactly 60 days after Trump’s inauguration, Sneed will now return to Texas, the agency said in a statement. ANS webinar tackles nuclear waste A recent American Nuclear Society webinar tackled misconceptions about nuclear waste. Christopher Perfetti, an associate professor of nuclear engineering at the University of New Mexico, presented “The How, Why, and Where of Nuclear Waste,” the latest online event in ANS’s Educator Training offerings. Moderated by ANS past president Eric Loewen, (2011–12), this presentation was built to be an accessible and informative Nuclear Waste 101 offering, as part of the
Society’s broader effort to develop a program specifically tailored to educate K-12 teachers. Read the full

Gone Fission Nuclear Report - New ORANO Plant Boosts Nuclear Growth December 09, 2024 | S4 E20 It’s being called the largest investment in the history of the State of Tennessee. Orano USA has announced plans to build a new multi-billion dollar, state-of-the-art centrifuge uranium enrichment plant in Oak Ridge. The facility will provide fuel for America’s nuclear power plants and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign sources. In this
week’s episode of the Gone Fission Nuclear Report, host Michael Butler discusses this exciting project with Orano USA President Jean-Luc Palayer. www.gonefissionpodcast.com NucleCast - Robert Kittinger, Ph.D. - Tritium, Reactors and Nuclear Deterrence Mar. 18, 2025 | S02 E210 In this episode of NUCLECAST, host Adam Lowther engages with Dr. Robert Kittinger to discuss various aspects of nuclear policy, including the importance of tritium production, the role of small modular reactors in military applications, and the interconnectedness of nuclear energy and weapons. They explore the implications
of denuclearization and the need for a dedicated supply chain for nuclear components, while also addressing the historical context of nuclear deterrence and its significance in maintaining global peace. https://rss.com/podcasts/nuclecast-podcast/
