The latest move targets a particularly vulnerable US link in the nuclear fuel cycle. Russia controls almost half the world’s capacity to separate the uranium isotopes needed in reactors, and last year supplied more than a quarter of the US’s enriched fuel.

An electricity shortage is bearing down on the nation and there are no easy fixes. Trump has laid out an energy policy that would emphasize oil and gas drilling and environmental controls and curbs on the rate of wind generation deployment. None of that will get us through the impending crisis as the demand for more electricity is surging.

The CFE's investment plan for this period consists of US$23.4bn, of which US$12.3bn correspond to new generation projects (13,024 MW), US$7.5bn to transmission infrastructure and US$3.6bn to distribution projects.

The U.S. Department of Energy will allocate almost $2 billion for 38 projects that will directly focus on hardening the U.S. power grid.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced nearly $2 billion for 38 projects that will protect the U.S. power grid against growing threats of extreme weather, lower costs for communities, and increase grid capacity to meet load growth stemming from an increase in manufacturing, data centers, and electrification.

DOE estimates the U.S. will need approximately 700-900 GW of additional clean, firm power generation capacity to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Nuclear power is a proven option that could be deployed to meet this growing demand.

DOE announced an investment of $1.5 billion in four transmission projects that will improve grid reliability and resilience, relieve costly transmission congestion, and open access to affordable energy to millions of Americans across the country.

As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced over $3 billion for 25 selected projects across 14 states to boost the domestic production of advanced batteries and battery materials nationwide.

In support of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a $2.2 billion investment in the nation’s grid for eight projects across 18 states

The Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act was signed by President Joe Biden in May, after being passed unanimously by the US Senate and will go into effect on 11 August.

We face a potential future of perpetual subsidies and incentives combined with mandated changes and banned products. This potential future does not include reduced energy costs or increased liberty and freedom.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today issued a request for proposals (RFP) to purchase low-enriched uranium (LEU) from domestic sources.

The onshore megaproject that will cost more than $10 billion will begin generating electricity in 2032,

Russia is the largest supplier of low-enriched uranium in the world and about a quarter of enriched uranium used in U.S. reactors comes from Russia.

Nuclear batteries - also known as radioisotope batteries - work on the principle of utilising the energy released by the decay of nuclear isotopes and converting it into electrical energy through semiconductor converters.
