Build Nuclear Now is a national campaign engaging Americans in targeted states to call for regulatory and legislative change to accelerate the licensing and deployment of new advanced nuclear reactors in the United States. The mobilization campaign is supported by six figure ad buys in multiple U.S. states to engage the strong majority of Americans who support nuclear energy. Build Nuclear Now is mobilizing citizens to call on their members of Congress to change the mission of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to be in line with its legal mandate to develop, and increase the efficiency and reliability of use of, all energy sources to meet the needs of present and future generations. The campaign aims to strengthen the state level pro-nuclear groups through capacity building and resource sharing to amplify local voices advocating for advanced nuclear energy in communities across the country, with the goal of accelerating and increasing deployment of advanced nuclear energy facilities in the United States. “Advanced nuclear energy will be the safest energy technology ever utilized by human societies and is necessary to deeply decarbonize the U.S. economy,” said Ted Nordhaus, Executive Director of The Breakthrough Institute. “We have the tools and technology to shift the tide on climate change now and move the U.S. toward greater energy independence, and the biggest thing standing in the way is much-needed regulatory change. U.S. policies and regulations must be modernized to reflect major improvements in nuclear technologies or we risk falling behind as a global leader in nuclear energy.” Nordhaus continued, “It is critical that the NRC take a more balanced regulatory approach that considers the positive impact of advanced nuclear technology deployment on improving public health, improving overall safety of the U.S. energy system, and decarbonization.” The two AP1000 reactors that will soon commence commercial operation represent the only reactor design that the NRC has ever licensed to be commercialized since the NRC’s founding in 1974. This inaction is halting progress toward the development of carbon-free energy needed to combat climate change. Advanced nuclear developers still do not have a clear roadmap for how to license their reactors, even as Congress has directed and funded the first-moving developers to commercialize advanced reactors by 2028. “Overregulation of nuclear energy is imposing huge public health burdens on Americans, especially underserved communities, from air pollution,” said Adam Stein, Director of Nuclear Innovation at The Breakthrough Institute. “The NRC is not carrying out its mission and legal mandate, and is denying the American people access to clean, affordable energy. Instead, the NRC operates under a self-described mission focused primarily on a decades old understanding of nuclear safety and technology that is not applicable to the new technology and tools that are currently being commercialized. While nuclear safety is paramount, the NRC’s mission needs to be rewritten and legally mandated by Congress to modernize the regulatory framework for advanced nuclear reactors.” To take action and urge Congress and the NRC to modernize, simplify and expedite this licensing process so developers have a clear regulatory pathway for advanced nuclear energy deployment, please join the Build Nuclear Now campaign at the following link: https://buildnuclearnow.org/ About The Breakthrough Institute The Breakthrough Institute is an environmental research center based in Berkeley, California. Our research focuses on identifying and promoting technological solutions to environmental and human development challenges in three areas: energy, conservation, and food and farming.

The US Energy Department is spending $26M to help find a temporary site to store spent nuclear fuel | AP News: Federal energy regulators are spending $26 million to find communities willing to accept a temporary federal site to store spent nuclear fuel while a permanent repository is completed. According to a recent news release from the U.S. Energy Department, 13 groups made up of industry, academic, nonprofit, government and community representatives will each get $2 million to explore the most equitable approach to picking an interim site to store highly radioactive waste from nuclear power plants. This study is being conducted with the aim of creating a federal site independent of the two private sites proposed for southern New Mexico and Texas, which are embroiled in heated political and legal battles.

[SocialMedia] S & P Global Has a Dim View of Future of Nuclear Energy

[SocialMedia] S & P Global Has a Dim View of Future of Nuclear Energy - New nuclear power units likely in US in next decade, despite challenges: experts S & P Global 06/13/23 https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/energy-transition/061223-new-nuclear-power-units-likely-in-us-in-next-decade-despite-challenges-experts HIGHLIGHTS Yet $300 billion in federal loans untouched Advanced demonstration project in works Finance, policy and environmental factors favor the development of several new nuclear generation units over the next decade in the US, but challenges persist, experts said June 11 during a panel discussion at the Edison Electric Institute's 2023 conference in Austin, Texas. At the end of the panel, moderator Jim Schaefer, senior managing director for the energy sector at Guggenheim Partners, said, "By 2033, there will be three [new] working third-generation reactors, there'll be four working fourth-generation reactors, and there'll be three functional fusion reactors." That prediction faces several hurdles, however. An offer of as much as $300 billion in nuclear financing remains untouched, said panelist Julie Kozeracki, US Department Energy senior advisor for loan programs. 'Stuck in stalemate' "The New nuclear power units likely in US in next decade, despite challenges: experts S & P Global 06/13/23 https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/energy-transition/061223-new-nuclear-power-units-likely-in-us-in-next-decade-despite-challenges-experts HIGHLIGHTS Yet $300 billion in federal loans untouched Advanced demonstration project in works Finance, policy and environmental factors favor the development of several new nuclear generation units over the next decade in the US, but challenges persist, experts said June 11 during a panel discussion at the Edison Electric Institute's 2023 conference in Austin, Texas. At the end of the panel, moderator Jim Schaefer, senior managing director for the energy sector at Guggenheim Partners, said, "By 2033, there will be three [new] working third-generation reactors, there'll be four working fourth-generation reactors, and there'll be three functional fusion reactors." That prediction faces several hurdles, however. An offer of as much as $300 billion in nuclear financing remains untouched, said panelist Julie Kozeracki, US Department Energy senior advisor for loan programs. 'Stuck in stalemate' "The industry is stuck in a stalemate, where utilities are staring at reactor developers, reactor developers are staring at the suppliers, and no one is really ready to move or make real capital decisions about building new nuclear," Kozeracki said. "There are two big things that we have to get right in order to break through that, and one of those is establishing the mandate for clean firm power, and the fact is that we just don't have many good options for it." Nuclear power should not be compared with coal or natural gas or renewables in themselves, Kozeracki said, but also combined with the means of providing power that is both firm – e.g., including long-duration energy storage for renewables – and clean – e.g., including carbon capture for fossil fuels. "When you look at the competitor set for your clean, firm options, I actually see nuclear as having a pretty good competitive shot at, for example, 200 GW of that 700 or 800 GW of clean, firm capacity that we're going to have to add to the grid by 2050," Kozeracki said. The second significant step that must be taken to break the nuclear stalemate, Kozeracki said, "is a committed order book of new nuclear deployments." "What's essential here is you need a critical mass of call it five to 10 orders for an individual design," because only at that scale does the cost per MW of capacity fall dramatically, Kozeracki said. From coal to nuclear Chris Levesque, TerraPower president and CEO, said his company is working with PacifiCorp, a western US power company owned by Berkshire Hathaway Energy, and DOE to develop a Natrium advanced nuclear demonstration project at the site of a coal-fired power plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming, which is slated for retirement. As a joint TeraPower/GE Hitachi project, the Natrium sodium fast reactor is coupled with molten salt-based energy storage to boost the ability to serve demand over longer time periods. TerraPower and PacifiCorp are studying the possibility of adding up to five additional commercial units by 2035, the companies said in a news release Oct. 27. "We're preparing to put the first Natrium reactor online in 2030," Levesque said June 11. However, Levesque said that as Russia and China are pushing hard for the development and expansion of their nuclear power sector, the US federal government should provide a similar commitment. "The commercial stalemate is all about the fact that a national investment is needed," Levesque said. "If we're going to be on par with China and Russia and make clean energy, a national investment is needed. If I look at the regulated utilities folks in this crowd, you do not believe that it's you're job to make regional ratepayers make national investments." 'From science to industrialization' Chris Mowry, CEO of Type One Energy, said his company is working to apply advanced three-dimensional printing methods, computational physics and high-temperature superconducting materials in developing commercially viable fusion power systems. "If the industry and its stakeholders continue to ramp up investment in the space at anywhere near the rate that it has over the past four or five years, you'll see that first commercial pilot plant early next decade," Mowry said. "I think that the pacing items on fusion have shifted from science to industrialization of a set of technologies." As the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has decided to allow nuclear fusion to progress under protocols similar to nuclear medicine, rather than nuclear power generation, Mowry said fusion system developers have less of a focus on meeting regulatory guidelines and instead, "trying to figure out how to translate large-format 3-D printing ... and make the equipment in my fusion power plant."
