OAK RIDGE IS BECOMING AMERICA'S NUCLEAR CAPITAL Via @ETEC_tn / Tennessee Nuclear Network: • TVA generates 42% of its power from nuclear across a 7-state grid, the deepest nuclear dependency of any U.S. utility • Tennessee hosts the nation's first nuclear engineering program (UT, Top 5) and a growing technician pipeline through state colleges • The Oak Ridge Corridor clusters ORNL, Y-12, TVA, Kairos Power, TRISO-X, Orano, Oklo, and Radiant in one geography • Orano USA is building one of North America's largest uranium enrichment facilities in Oak Ridge • $Oklo is developing HALEU fuel recycling and conversion for advanced reactors in the same corridor • TVA's Clinch River Site is prepping to host multiple BWRX-300 SMRs, the first utility-scale SMR deployment in U.S. history • Tennessee state government has committed $152.6M toward nuclear company recruitment, workforce development, and fission/fusion R&D No other state combines legacy federal infrastructure, an emerging advanced fuel cycle, AND multiple construction-stage reactor projects under one corridor. $CCJ $UUUU $NXE $LEU
