The News That Matters about the Nuclear Industry Fukushima Chernobyl Mayak Three Mile Island Atomic Testing Radiation Isotope

Energy Department loans $1B to help finance the restart of nuclear reactor on Three Mile Island.

The U.S. Department of Energy said Tuesday that it will loan $1 billion to
help finance the restart of the nuclear power plant on Pennsylvania’s
Three Mile Island that is under contract to supply power to data centers
for tech giant Microsoft. The loan is in line with the priorities of
President Donald Trump’s administration, including bolstering nuclear power
and artificial intelligence.For Constellation Energy, which owns Three Mile
Island’s lone functioning nuclear power reactor, the federal loan will
lower its financing cost to get the mothballed plant up and running again.
The 835-megawatt reactor can power the equivalent of approximately 800,000
homes, the Department of Energy said.

France’s EDF again sends spent uranium to state-owned Russian firm for recycling

France’s EDF again sends spent uranium to state-owned Russian firm for
recycling. A shipment of reprocessed uranium from French nuclear power
plants has left the Channel port of Dunkirk to be enriched at a specialised
Russian industrial plant run by the country’s nuclear energy group Rosatom,
before being in part returned to France for further use in civil reactors.
The shipment, loaded at the weekend on a Russian-operated,
Panama-registered cargo vessel, was described by Greenpeace as a “cargo of shame”, and “immoral”, while both French utility giant EDF, which
operates the country’s nuclear power plants, and the French economy
ministry, declined to comment. Jade Lindgaard reports.
