"Nuclear is ideally suited to power the energy-hungry world that AI is building.... That’s why big tech companies are partnering with nuclear utilities and developers to build new reactors and even restart retired ones," writes American Nuclear Society President H.M. Hashemian in the Knoxville News Sentinel. In Tennessee and across the country, companies and universities are showing the many ways in which #nuclear and #AI have a mutually beneficial relationship.

Nearly 300 public school teachers, career counselors, and school administrators from 11 middle and high schools in the Oak Ridge region of Tennessee recently attended a nuclear opportunities workshop. The event was held to provide information about careers available for students in the years ahead related to the cleanup mission of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management.

Mention #artificialintelligence and #energy and people wrongly assume that A.I. only consumes. In fact, it makes #nuclear plants more productive, as Dr. Hash Hashemian president of the American Nuclear Society, explains here: https://shorturl.at/Qvdky

Today, 25 nuclear research reactors are operating in universities across the country and have been for a long time—about 58 years on average. As new projects aim to refresh this aging fleet, they are facing some of the same obstacles as the commercial side of the nuclear sector. The partnership between some universities and private industry to overcome these challenges is the subject of today's feature. The task at hand is as exciting as it is complicated. To read conversations with leaders from Abilene Christian University who are partnered with Natura Resources; the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, partnered with NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE); and Penn State University, partnered with Westinghouse Electric Corporation, visit Nuclear NewsWire: https://lnkd.in/eHJfx4Jc

One of the more pivotal issues in facilitating the use of radiation sources—including nuclear power—in the United States (and most of the Western world) is concern about the health effects of low levels of radiation. The current regulatory assumption is that every additional increment of radiation linearly increases the risk of cancer.

The dust has settled: It’s been more than a month since President Trump signed H.R.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, after a lengthy and contentious reconciliation process. As drafts of the bill evolved through committees, the House, and the Senate, the fate of federal support for nuclear energy projects was often obfuscated. White House support for fossil fuel–enabled energy dominance and calls for reductions in spending waste made it clear that the modification or elimination of IRA credits (primarily through the acceleration of their phaseout timelines) would be a key point of the bill.
