Eagle Mountain Explores New Energy Alternatives Eagle Mountain is currently contemplating changes to its energy regulations to diversify its power generation options amid rapid growth. Among the proposed solutions are solar power, natural gas, and even advanced nuclear technology, which has sparked significant debate among the community. This initiative is part of Utah Governor Spencer Cox’s ambitious “Operation Gigawatt,” aimed at doubling the state’s energy output within a decade. Yet, concerns loom large among residents […]

Thailand and the United States have taken a significant step in nuclear collaboration. On January 14, officials from both countries signed a pivotal agreement in Bangkok, aimed at fostering peaceful nuclear energy applications. U.S. Ambassador Robert Godec and Thailand’s Minister Supamas Isaraghakdi represent their nations’ commitment to harnessing nuclear energy for beneficial purposes. Known as the “123 Agreement,” this document establishes a comprehensive framework for nuclear non-proliferation, facilitating the exchange of nuclear materials, equipment, and […]

Eagle Mountain Considers Diverse Energy Solutions Amid Rapid Growth City officials in Eagle Mountain are exploring changes to local energy ordinances as the community grapples with soaring electricity needs. This initiative seeks to integrate a variety of energy options, including the possibility of small modular reactors, which represent cutting-edge nuclear technology. Evan Berrett, the city’s economic development director, clarified that there are currently no plans to establish a nuclear facility. He emphasized that even if […]

The Shift Towards Small Modular Reactors In the ongoing quest for sustainable energy, the massive Hinkley Point C power plant in Somerset has come under scrutiny due to its staggering costs and prolonged construction delays. Originally projected to supply 3.2 gigawatts of energy to 6 million homes, this colossal project has ballooned to an estimated £48 billion—pushing its completion back by at least five years. As traditional large-scale nuclear projects face challenges, a new contender […]

The Energy Landscape is Shifting Baltimore’s own Constellation is set to transform the energy landscape with a landmark agreement to acquire a significant natural gas producer from Houston, Texas. This ambitious $26.6 billion deal is poised to establish one of the largest energy firms in the United States, reflecting the dynamically rising demand for electrical power across the nation. As the country grapples with increasing energy needs, this strategic acquisition positions Constellation to play a […]

Major Advancement in Advanced Nuclear Energy TerraPower has achieved a significant milestone in the realm of advanced nuclear energy with the recent approval of a construction permit from the Wyoming Industrial Siting Council for its Natrium nuclear plant. This project marks the first state permit granted to a commercial-scale advanced nuclear initiative in the country. The new permit facilitates the construction of the non-nuclear segments of the Kemmerer Power Station Unit 1, while an application […]

The anticipated appointment of Chris Wright as head of the U.S. Energy Department signals a transformative approach to energy policy. During recent confirmation hearings, Wright emphasized the urgency of boosting domestic energy production, specifically highlighting the roles of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and nuclear power. At 60, Wright’s perspective is shaped by his tenure as CEO of Liberty Energy, where he argued that fossil fuels play a crucial role in combating global poverty, which he […]

Groundbreaking Developments in Slovakia’s Energy Sector France’s Newcleo has taken a bold step towards a sustainable nuclear future by signing agreements with two Slovakian firms, JAVYS and VUJE. This collaboration paves the way for the potential installation of four cutting-edge 200 MWe lead-cooled fast reactors at the Bohunice nuclear site. The partnership with JAVYS, the state-run radioactive waste management organization, is set to establish a joint venture focused on constructing an innovative Advanced Modular Reactor. […]

Groundbreaking Approval for Natrium Project TerraPower, a nuclear energy company supported by Bill Gates, has received a significant milestone in its quest for sustainable energy. The Wyoming Industrial Siting Council (ISC) has granted approval to initiate the construction of the Natrium plant, specifically the Kemmerer Power Station Unit 1. This decision marks a pivotal moment for advanced nuclear technologies. The Natrium plant is designed to feature a sophisticated 345 megawatt sodium-cooled fast reactor, coupled with […]
