From an investor perspective, there is consensus that nuclear power is essential to meet future clean, firm power demand. The practical constraint on nuclear deployment today is not strategic will, but execution. Specifically, the challenge lies in the following: • How nuclear projects are financed. • How risk is allocated. • How investors assess credibility in a sector defined by long timelines and asymmetric downside risk. For a deeper exploration of these topics, read Ryan Nielson's full article on Nuclear Newswire: https://lnkd.in/eZ5nPhSt

Exciting news for the future of energy in Puerto Rico! 🏛️⚛️🇵🇷 On May 22nd, representatives from the American Nuclear Society (ANS) UPRM Student Section had the honor of attending a public hearing at the Capitol Building in San Juan. Our Student Section President, Francisco Paravisini Domenech, accompanied Dr. Carlos Marín Martín, professor of Radiological Safety and Radioactive Waste Management for our newly implemented nuclear engineering minor. Our section was invited by the Economic Development Committee of the Puerto Rico House of Representatives to provide expert testimony regarding House Bill 1092 (P. de la C. 1092). This legislative measure seeks to amend Act 82-2010 to promote research into Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and evaluate the integration of this technology into the Puerto Rican energy portfolio as a stable, clean, and reliable power source. ⚡🌱 We want to express our deepest gratitude to all the dedicated students of ANS UPRM. Thanks to our collective teamwork, our technical knowledge is making a real impact at the highest levels of public policy and decision-making. We stand firm in our mission to educate, innovate, and pave the way for a stable energy future on our island. 👏🚀 Watch the full recording of the public hearing here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eB4XvPQj #ANSUPRM #NuclearEnergy #SMRs #CleanEnergy #PublicPolicy #Sustainability #STEMLeadership #UPRM #PuertoRico

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said it intends to complete its review of Orano's license application to build and operate a new uranium enrichment facility near Oak Ridge, Tenn., in 12 months. Orano submitted its application for the multibillion-dollar facility, named Project Ike, in March. Read more on Nuclear Newswire: https://lnkd.in/e7v_tDSk

Nuclear medicine has come a long way since Henri Becquerel first observed the penetrating energy of radioactive materials in 1896. However, an enormous portion of modern diagnostic medicine rests on a surprisingly vulnerable foundation, one built around a small number of aging research reactors that were never originally designed for continuous isotope production. If the isotope landscape remains as it is today, the answer to the vulnerability question would be relatively straightforward: replace aging reactors with new ones, maintain the existing supply chains, and keep the supply flowing. But the landscape is not staying the same. Not even close. Read Tim Tinsley and Katie Baverstock-Hunt’s full feature on Nuclear Newswire: https://lnkd.in/eZ82Umtc
