Curio® Commends DOE Leadership on Nuclear Innovation Campuses
A Decisive Step Toward Solving America's Nuclear Waste Problem Once and For All
Curio®, a leader in advanced nuclear recycling technologies, applauds the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) announcement that it has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with five states – Louisiana, Utah, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Idaho – under its Nuclear Innovation Campus initiative.
This is an important milestone toward rebuilding America’s nuclear fuel cycle, accelerating the commercialization of next-generation nuclear technologies and, for the first time in decades, putting the nation on a genuine path to solving its nuclear waste problem once and for all.
The initiative reflects a forward-looking partnership between the federal government, states, national laboratories, universities, industry, and utilities to establish regional centers for nuclear innovation. These campuses have the potential to accelerate advanced reactor deployment, strengthen domestic manufacturing, expand the nuclear workforce, and advance the recycling technologies that can finally end America's nuclear waste stalemate.
