Energy Department Announces Pilot Program to Build Advanced U.S. Nuclear Fuel Lines
The U.S. Department of Energy today announced the start of a new pilot program to accelerate advanced nuclear reactor development and establish domestic nuclear fuel production, reducing reliance on foreign sources. The Department is seeking private companies to build and operate fuel production lines under its authorization, with selections expected later this summer. The advanced nuclear fuel lines will serve for research, development and demonstration purposes with the initiative to bolster national security and revive America’s nuclear energy sector.
