• National Center for Policy Analysis Finds Nuclear Energy as Best Option for U.S. Energy Future

  A recent report from the National Center for Policy Analysis examines the growing demand for U.S. energy needs and the requirements that this energy comes from a renewable or carbon-free source. The National Center for Policy Analysis finds in its report that “to meet this growing demand nuclear energy remains one of the safest and [...] Read More...

• Another Q&A on Recycling

  Here’s another great question on recycling that was submitted by Max Epstein: I have heard the argument (including by at least one professor with a related PhD) that the benefits of reprocessing in terms of reducing volume of waste overstate the real benefits, because the reprocessed fuel comes out hotter (or ends up hotter after being [...] Read More...

• AREVA’s Commitment to Nonproliferation Already in Action

  Yesterday, President Obama said in a BBC interview: “Without going into specifics, what I do believe is that Iran has legitimate energy concerns, legitimate aspirations. On the other hand, the international community has a very real interest in preventing a nuclear arms race in the region.” Thus, we thought that this would be a good time [...] Read More...

• MOX Project Will Help Remove Weapons Material, Create Clean Electricity

  by Jarret Adams The MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility under construction in South Carolina serves several important goals: It provides a way to remove weapons-grade material from the nation’s military stockpiles. At the same time, the mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel produced by the facility will help generate reliable, emission-free electricity for Americans. The construction project led by Shaw [...] Read More...

• Recycling Can Help Address Waste Challenges and Make Economic Sense

  by Jarret Adams and Gilles Clement Rob Inglis at The New Republic’s Energy and Environment blog, among others, suggested recently that recycling nuclear fuel is too costly to pursue in the United States and that closing the fuel cycle would have little effect on the demand for repository space. We at AREVA believe that recycling can [...] Read More...
