DOE lays out fuel cycle goals in RFI to states
The Department of Energy has issued a request for information inviting states to express interest in hosting Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses. According to the DOE, the proposed campuses could support work across the nuclear fuel life cycle, with a primary focus on fuel fabrication, enrichment, spent fuel reprocessing or recycling, separations, and radioactive waste management.
The DOE said the RFI marks the first step toward potentially establishing voluntary federal-state partnerships designed to build a coherent, end-to-end nuclear energy strategy for the country.

Mimi Limbach with many years of communication expertise in the nuclear field and Margaret Harding with almost as many years of expertise in nuclear engineering will be leading this workshop. Margaret learned the art of persuasion with help from Mimi in the cauldron of fear, uncertainty, and doubt while communicating to the media after the great Tohoku earthquake in Japan in 2011. This workshop will help attendees build their confidence, make a compelling case, and connect with their audience. Participants will be creating and giving short presentations on topics related to Nuclear Energy. Please choose from the following topics: Role of Nuclear Energy in the US energy portfolio, Advantages of Advanced Nuclear Technologies, Role of Nuclear in Space. We recommend preparing materials for a 5 minute presentation, but if you don’t get it done, come anyway! We will be giving the group some basic principles for successful, persuasive presentations. Then participants will break out into smaller groups to work on their presentations. Our goal is for each participant to present to the group and receive useful feedback.
