Nuclear Facilities and Safeguards Experience (NFASE)
NFASE is hosted by the Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) with support from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC). The 4-day experience is designed to help A/SMR developers meet the highest standards of nonproliferation required to compete in the global nuclear market.

DOE/EA-2268: Demonstration of Microreactor Experiment (DOME) Test Bed Operations; Idaho National Laboratory
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released a final environmental assessment and proposed finding of no significant impact (FONSI) for the operation of the Demonstration of Microreactor Experiments (DOME) test bed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). DOME would provide private industry with a safe, reliable, and affordable location to test their microreactor technologies to generate data needed to obtain reactor licensing and commercialization.
Utah looks at plan to build nuclear energy reactor at Delta power plant
A study by the U.S. Department of Energy involving national laboratories identified 157 retired coal plant sites and 237 operating coal plants sites as potential candidates for the coal-to-nuclear transition.
Christine King, the Department of Energy’s director of the Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear previously told the Deseret News the research showed that the most valuable connection in the site analysis was connection to the grid, the transmission, existing substations and even the administration buildings.

U.S. DOE to Distribute First Amounts of HALEU to U.S. Advanced Reactor Developers
DOE just announced conditional commitments to provide high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) to five U.S. nuclear developers to meet their near-term fuel needs. The five companies that received conditional commitments are: •TRISO-X, LLC. •Kairos Power, LLC. •Radiant Industries, Inc. •Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC •TerraPower, LLC.

Advanced Nuclear First Mover Initiative: Ready, set, grow
The National Association of State Energy Officials (NASEO) partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) to launch the Advanced Nuclear First Movers Initiative. The Initiative, directed by state energy offices, is led by state co-chairs New York, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Wyoming, and the participating states Louisiana, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia.
INL serves as the GAIN integrator for NE for a reason, said Jess Gehin, associate laboratory director for Nuclear Science and Technology at INL. “INL’s significant experience in leading nuclear energy R&D programs made it the ideal choice to head the GAIN initiative and work with other national laboratories on GAIN’s mission.”

DOE Identifies 16 Federal Sites Across the Country for Data Center and AI Infrastructure Development
DOE released a Request for Information (RFI) to inform possible use of DOE land for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure development to support growing demand for data centers. DOE has identified 16 potential sites uniquely positioned for rapid data center construction, including in-place energy infrastructure with the ability to fast-track permitting for new energy generation such as nuclear.
Generation III+ Small Modular Reactor Pathway to Deployment Solicitation
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today re-issued a $900 million solicitation to support the deployment of small modular reactors, fueling President Trump’s bold agenda to unleash American energy dominance.

Celebrating a Decade of Innovation: The Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear
GAIN was created in 2015 to “provide the nuclear community with a single point of access to the broad range of capabilities — people, facilities, materials and data — across the DOE complex and its national laboratory capabilities.”
INL serves as the GAIN integrator for NE for a reason, said Jess Gehin, associate laboratory director for Nuclear Science and Technology at INL. “INL’s significant experience in leading nuclear energy R&D programs made it the ideal choice to head the GAIN initiative and work with other national laboratories on GAIN’s mission.”
