Impact of a 3x U.S. nuclear energy increase = 10X increase in U.S. enrichment capacity. ?? "We need to have everybody on board," Roberts [Orano USA] told Knox News. "It would be helpful for the DOE to have that in mind ? that if they truly want to achieve three times increase in nuclear energy, we're going to need to fund the industry, not just an individual company or two." https://lnkd.in/es2EapDV

When CEOs get together big thoughts come out! Tennessee has done the hard work in policy, funding, and community support to attract and retain advanced energy companies. Orano USA CEO Jean-Luc Palayer highlighted the strong future we see in Oak Ridge with our #ProjectIke facility helping supply the massive 10x increase in needed domestic uranium enrichment supply for the U.S. to triple its nuclear energy generation. A great event driving economic opportunity by the Tennessee Advanced Energy Business Council.

STATEMENT: The recent shock to the enrichment market by Russia’s new export restrictions against the United States underscores the urgency of Orano’s efforts to support our U.S. customers. Orano is a long-term, trusted provider for U.S. nuclear utilities and is already taking action to ensure America has the reliable, diversified uranium enrichment capacity it needs for the future, such as with our #ProjectIke in Oak Ridge, TN, and the Georges Besse II facility expansion in France. We will continue working with our customers and stakeholders to accelerate the availability of additional enrichment capacity within the United States. #uranium #Sapporo5

3x nuclear energy in the U.S. by 2050? That equals 10x U.S. enrichment capacity! ?? To achieve this required domestic enrichment output, we need all suppliers running full bore--it's not an either/or. Our #ProjectIke enrichment facility planned for Oak Ridge, TN, is designed as a major source for reliable, diversified, domestic capacity. #uranium
