About a decade ago, the Department of Energy’s Office of Science began a program called Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRC) to address some of the basic research needs for environmental management. These EFRCs are intended to realize the synergy from each center’s mixture of institutions that together can achieve research goals not possible without that symbiotic collaboration.

All three units at the Duke Energy’s Oconee nuclear power plant in South Carolina are now licensed to operate for an additional 20 years. When Floyd Harris began working at Duke Energy’s Brunswick nuclear plant about 24 years ago as a radiation protection technician, robotics and remote monitoring were considered tools for radiation protection and nothing more.
Will policies outlined in Project 2025 affect nuclear much?

I think so. The near future for nuclear depends on both the cabinet picks for Energy, Defense, Interior, and Commerce, and how well the new secretaries stick to the Project 2025 plan, the Heritage Foundation’s conservative blueprint for the future. Those who want to read the entire 900-page Mandate for Leadership can find it easily online. The section relating to nuclear power and waste begins on page 363: “Department of Energy and Related Commissions,” by Bernard L. McNamee.

As nations look to nuclear energy as a source of reliable electricity and heat, researchers and industry are developing a new generation of nuclear reactors to fill the need. These advanced nuclear reactors will provide safe, efficient, and economical power that go beyond what the current large light water reactors can do.

2. Why does the U.S. Department of Defense want a small nuclear reactor as soon as possible? to reduce the cost of powering a forward military base to reduce casualties in war zones to intimidate enemy combatants to justify the U.S. Space ForceCorrect! to reduce casualties in war zones, since attacks on diesel truck convoys accounted for about half of U.S. casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Department of Energy has announced a competitive funding opportunity of up to $13 million to help first movers defray the licensing costs of bringing advanced nuclear reactors to market. I got into nuclear engineering when I realized I could apply my passion for computers to the critical human challenge of energy. After training, I spent the past 13-plus years building automated and integrated engineering analysis tools for the efficient design/licensing of advanced nuclear reactors.

January 10, 2025, 3:03PMNuclear NewsThe media have gleefully resurrected the language of a past nuclear renaissance. Beyond the hype and PR, many people in the nuclear community are taking a more measured view of conditions that could lead to new construction: data center demand, the proliferation of new reactor designs and start-ups, and the sudden ascendance of nuclear energy as the power source everyone wants—or wants to talk about.
