NEWS - The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - NRC has accepted Orano’s license application for an accelerated 12-month review, marking a major step forward in developing the multibillion-dollar enrichment facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

"So, what's the plan?" 👀

In this video clip, Senator Mark Kelly posed that question to the NRC leadership seated before him after detailing how the current American nuclear fuel supply "is in a precarious place."

- building more reactors does not get us anywhere without the fuel to operate them

- more than 80% of America's enriched uranium is supplied from overseas

- notably 20% of the enriched comes from Russia, "clearly that's a problem"

In their responses, Commissioner Douglas Weaver noted the DOE funding for multiple types of uranium enrichment production.

⚛️ Orano was the sole company selected for the DOE award to establish a robust domestic low-enriched uranium supply.

NRC Chairman Ho Nieh highlighted Orano's license application now under staff acceptance review for Project IKE, a large enrichment facility development in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

He then laid out how the NRC "is going to be an enabling regulator" using an intentional, timely thought process to ensure the license meets NRC regulatory requirements.

- Orano has an enrichment facility in operation today in France

- The same exact technology is planned for the Project IKE facility

- Project IKE builds on a technology we had in the U.S. a few decades ago, the Eagle Rock enrichment facility license

- NRC staff is looking into how to leverage this prior licensing experience

- Validate and complete the license application review as soon as possible so Orano can start building

👉 NRC Chairman Nieh: "Because I agree 100% with you. This is a huge gap. It is national security for the United States, and NRC will do its part by not being an impediment to getting the fuel cycle up and running on the front end."

You might be on track today to NEI's Used Fuel Management Conference in if …

1. Almost everyone on your plane paid attention to the pre-flight Safety Card briefing.

2. Mid-flight you ask AI to compare the average annual exposure of a nuclear facility worker (1-2 mSv), a frequent flier (1.5-2.5 mSv), and the flight crew (3-6 mSv).

3. Many passengers getting on your small plane went up the gangway using the handrail.

4. Another passenger’s computer bag sports an “Ask me about Nuclear Energy” button from Nuclear Matters.

5. Your Uber driver asks if you know anything about recycling used nuclear fuel. 👍

See you at and come by the Orano booth!

Simpler Process = Less Handling & Less Risk 💡⚛️

Using Orano's new TN Eagle dual-purpose cask trims out many of the steps for storing and transporting used nuclear fuel.

1. Fill cask with used nuclear fuel assemblies
2. Close cask
3. Move cask to onsite storage pad
4. For transport, place cask on vehicle and ship to destination
5. Move cask to storage pad

Now that's !

VIDEO - Our new TN Eagle transport/storage cask is already on the move! 👏👏👏

Along with ongoing transports to customers by truck of the newly manufactured TN Eagle, the NTS ship Pacific Grebe is now ready to transport TN Eagle casks around the world.

The robust and customizable dual-purpose TN Eagle cask is designed to simplify the process and reduce risks for handling used nuclear fuel by performing as both a storage cask and a transport cask. 🏆

Here's how ... Using a cask completely avoids these steps in the current process of moving used fuel from the reactor to storage ...

- lifting and moving a loaded used nuclear fuel canister out of the reactor's transfer cask and into the onsite storage module

- reversing the process and removing the canister from the storage module and into a transport cask for offsite consolidation

- and, finally, taking the canister back out of the transport cask and placing it into the destination storage.

👉 Takeaway: With the TN Eagle, the used nuclear fuel canister stays sealed inside the same robust and secure cask for the entire process.

First impressions from DOE-EM Asst. Secretary Tim Walsh about the Cleanup to Opportunity achievements in Oak Ridge?

"It's really remarkable to see exactly what was here before, like the K-25 gaseous diffusion plant that's now leveled, and to see the nuclear renaissance really unfolding right there with companies like TRISO-X under construction, and Orano USA soon's going to be under construction, and Kairos Power."
