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: NRC denies full hearing on Palisades nuclear restart challenge Federal regulators have rejected a bid for a formal hearing on safety and licensing concerns raised by environmental
groups and residents opposed to restarting the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant in Michigan. Read the full story Waste Management 2025: Building a new era of
nuclear While attendance at the 2025 Waste Management Conference was noticeably down this year due to the ongoing federal retrenchment, the conference, held March 9-13 in Phoenix, Ariz., still drew a healthy and diverse crowd of people working on the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle, both domestically and internationally. Sponsored by Waste Management Symposia, the conference continues to be a
premier forum for sharing information on safe and effective solutions to radioactive waste management. Much of the talk at this year’s conference, in both panel sessions and technical talks, highlighted waste management’s role in enabling the growth of new nuclear power worldwide. Read the full story The Stakes for Energy Costs in Budget Reconciliation Work is underway in Congress to construct and pass a budget reconciliation bill or bills to meet an array of priorities and policy objectives set by President Trump. Most of these priorities focus on increasing spending on defense and border security as well as extending and possibly expanding the tax cuts enacted in Trump’s first term. In this note, we estimate how much energy costs could rise for households and industry if Congress chooses to
partially pay for these priorities through the rollback and repeal of key pollution regulations and energy tax credits Read the full story
