GLE gets incentives, draft EIS
The governments of Kentucky and McCracken County have granted preliminary approval to Global Laser Enrichment for a comprehensive incentive package to support the development of the North Carolina–based company’s planned Paducah Laser Enrichment Facility in the western part of the state. The performance-based incentive package would provide as much as $98.9 million in tax incentives and other economic incentives—provided that GLE reaches the required thresholds in investments and job creation.
In addition, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has completed a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) in response to GLE’s application to construct and operate the PLEF. Members of the public can submit comments on the draft EIS by May 11 for consideration by the NRC.
International Conference on Physics of Reactors 2024 Plenary SPeaker
Los Alamos National Laboratory
Advanced Reactor Fuel Cycles and Simulations
Dr. Holly Trellue, Los Alamos National Laboratory, is an expert in advanced reactor fuel cycles and simulations and is leading several nuclear energy and nonproliferation-related efforts. Dr. Trellue has performed neutronic and depletion simulations on numerous reactor systems over the past 28 years and is the Technical Area Lead for the DOE-NE Microreactor Program. She has significant experience working on reactor/critical experiment simulations, nuclear data, and nonproliferation topics related to reactors as well as nuclear fuel cycle analysis. She earned a PhD in nuclear engineering from the University of New Mexico in 2003 and is now also the leader of the Engineering Institute at LANL.
