DOE response includes 3 commercial actions to address new GAO concerns about developing America's enriched supply:

1. November 2026, Issue required report to Congress on HALEU availability.

2. February 2027, Update programmatic documents for LEU and HALEU support efforts, including program plan and integrated schedule.

3. June 2027, Publish report on fuel cycle and enrichment, including economic analysis to support DOE’s enrichment efforts.

Why was Tennessee selected as one of the finalist states for a DOE Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus? ⚛️

On this latest “Atomically Speaking” podcast 👇, Congressman Chuck Fleischmann gives many insights, including …

“We continue to offer and attract the brightest and best companies: Standard Nuclear, Oklo Inc., Orano, to name a few, Radiant Nuclear, X-Energy. These companies chose Tennessee because we not only have the capital, and the warm, attractive environment to bring these companies, we work to keep them … We attract the best, we keep the best, and, fortunately, we’ve just got a dynamism that is unparalleled in the United States.”

We agree! Our Project IKE enrichment facility development in Oak Ridge is just one example of the vibrant nuclear fuel cycle neighborhood growing in East Tennessee!

Journal entry by Orano intern ... "Spoke with a Congressman today! 🤩"

Orano interns from our U.S. sites gathered last week at our office in City of Oak Ridge Government, Tenn., to learn about the company's Project IKE enrichment facility development, explore local Manhattan Project history, and enjoy great community vibes.

During the week, we went end-to-end in Oak Ridge from Big Ed's Pizza Oak Ridge, Tennessee🍕 ( ) on the eastern side all the way west to the K-25 History Center.

At K-25, we learned about the former Manhattan Project gaseous diffusion enrichment facility and viewed the many new nuclear companies' construction sites ⚛️ cropping up after DOE-EM completed the land cleanup for economic development.

Of course, stopping in for a firsthand look at our site was one of the highlights of the week!

Along with team building and touring, the interns learned about Project IKE project management, nuclear safety, and engineering activities and presented updates to Orano executives about their internship responsibilities.

The week wrapped up attending ETEC's Friday Morning Meeting to hear Congressman Chuck Fleischmann speak.

His energized leadership is helping drive the national and regional nuclear renaissance, and we appreciate his support for Project IKE's role in creating a secure and significant nuclear fuel supply in America.

We were especially grateful when the Congressman unexpectedly broke away from his presentation preparations and came to the back of the room to personally greet and speak with the .

That was a memorable experience!

Went to Summer Camp ☀️ ... met an Engineer! ⚛️

During the AMSE Summer Camp Week in Oak Ridge, Tenn., on Nuclear 101 Day, an Orano electrical engineer spoke to the young campers about her work developing the Project IKE enrichment facility and the many exciting career opportunities in nuclear energy.

Nuclear 101 Day for rising 3rd-8th graders from around the region included speakers and hands-on activities exploring the past, present, and future of nuclear energy.

Some of those young students will likely be walking the halls of our future facility as employees and bringing their expertise to fuel America's nuclear energy future.

Workforce development at all stages is a key focus for Orano in East Tennessee to prepare a pipeline of qualified candidates for our 300+ Project IKE workforce and regional supply chain ... and we're hiring now!
