Apparently there were fewer bad people than expected in 2024. We could send this surplus Santa coal to Germany—they’re still burning it since Greenpeace helped convince them to shut down nuclear energy first instead of fossil fuels. 🔌💡 #NukeSky

Not a “lack” but proven successful accident prevention with trained teams and robust tech. For safety comparisons, data shows nuclear energy’s safety record ranks with wind and solar —and, yes, the calculation includes *those* three nuclear accidents.

Yes, here’s some of those cute little recycled nuclear fuel pellets going through the production process. 96% of used nuclear fuel can be recycled, the 4% waste needs storage about 300 years.

The U.S. announced a 3x expansion of nuclear energy by 2050. That represents an incredible 10x expansion of current U.S. domestic enrichment supply. Orano’s Project Ike enrichment facility planned for Oak Ridge, TN, is designed as a major source for reliable, diversified, domestic capacity.
