The annual Flywheel Investment Conference presented by Ogden Murphy Wallace and Microsoft is excited to announce the opening of applications for its highly anticipated 2024 investment competition.

Many times smaller than traditional nuclear reactors, microreactors can be made in a factory and shipped wherever needed. This innovative approach to energy production has huge potential to bring electricity to remote areas, support regions affected by natural disasters, and provide right-sized, scalable power to our energy grid. Learn what they are, how they work, and their benefits in this webinar for K-12 educators featuring Piyush Sabharwall, senior staff nuclear research scientist and technical lead for the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy's Microreactor R&D Program at Idaho National Laboratory.

Last year was a big disappointment for backers of nuclear energy, but lawmakers now think 2024 could be their best chance to deliver transformative regulatory overhaul legislation to the president’s desk.

Designs for high-tech products, and the start-ups that offer them, will always outnumber the commercial successes. Ditto: many more power plants are proposed than actually get built, no matter what the technology.

Are you an energy genius? It’s hard to tell whether or not Americans are really aware of the energy that controls our lives, so the following quiz should be revealing. Click through the multiple-choice options below to reveal the answers.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission will meet on January 25 to discuss grid reliability, operating reactors, advanced reactor activities, cybersecurity, and other topics.

According to an admittedly informal and unscientific survey of people from online “nuclear affinity groups” conducted by Eric Wesoff, the editorial director for clean energy newsroom Canary Media, there is no consensus regarding when the next nuclear power plant will come on line in the United States.

the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Environmental Management released a competitive Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for the Community Capacity Building Grant Program (CCBGP). Eligibility for awards is restricted to Disadvantaged Communities and DOE anticipates making multiple financial assistance awards.

The awards will focus on reinvestment in disadvantaged communities impacted by decades of nuclear defense and research missions, and currently hosting environmental cleanup sites. The awards will also focus on strengthening relationships with communities by supporting projects that serve community and economic development goals, promote revitalization efforts, and promote inclusive community engagement practices.
