      ANS joins others in seeking to discuss SNF/HLW impasse

      The American Nuclear Society joined seven other organizations to send a letter to Energy Secretary Christopher Wright on July 8, asking to meet with him to discuss “the restoration of a highly functioning program to meet DOE’s legal responsibility to manage and dispose of the nation’s commercial and legacy defense spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW).”

The Future of Nuclear in Texas

July 14, 2025|1:00–2:00PM (2:00–3:00PM EDT)

All UsersAvailable to All Users


"Everything is bigger in Texas"

The state continues to embrace that tradition as nuclear developers announce new projects, the state legislature passes new laws supporting nuclear, and public support grows daily.

The future of nuclear energy will depend on numerous groups, organizations, governments, and individuals working effectively and efficiently to drive innovation and adoption. U.S. states will be integral to this proposition and have been making huge progress towards studying nuclear opportunities, removing barriers, and increasing support. This is the first in a series of webinars where we will dive into some of the unique and important actions that states are taking alongside federal, private, and other partners.
