LCG, October 21, 2025--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today issued three final Underground Injection Control (UIC) Class VI permits to ExxonMobil for their Rose Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Project located in Jefferson County, Texas. Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, these permits allow ExxonMobil to convert three existing test wells permitted by the state to carbon dioxide (CO2) storage injection wells for long-term storage.

LCG, October 20, 2025--Holtec International announced today that the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant site in Michigan has received new nuclear fuel – 68 assemblies in total – that achieves a major milestone on the path to restarting the plant. The 800-MW facility was shutdown and decommissioned in 2022 due primarily for economic reasons; however, Holtec is progressing towards restarting the original unit by the end of this year, pending all necessary federal regulatory reviews and approvals. Achieving a successful restart of a shutdown nuclear unit will be a historic first for the nuclear industry.

DOE Selects NuScale Power for SMR Development
LCG, December 13, 2013--The Energy Department (DOE) selected NuScale Power LLC as the winner of up to $226 million in funding to support the development of small modular reactor (SMR) technology.
The funding will support the design, certification and other necessary steps to achieve commercial operation of the 45-MW NuScale Power Module small reactor design by 2025. The DOES funds will be spread over a five-year period.
Project participants include NuScale's partner Rolls-Royce, its majority owner Fluor Corp. and utility Energy Northwest. The project will be based at NuScale's testing facility in Corvallis, Oregon.
The DOE issued the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) earlier this year to provide support for SMR development and accelerate design certification towards commercialization. DOE?s FOA criteria focused on innovative new technologies that improve safety by reducing natural hazards.
Energy Secretary Moniz stated, "Small modular reactors represent a new generation of safe, reliable, low-carbon nuclear energy technology and provide a strong opportunity for America to lead this emerging global industry. The Energy Department is committed to strengthening nuclear energy?s continuing important role in America's low carbon future, and new technologies like small modular reactors will help ensure our continued leadership in the safe, secure and efficient use of nuclear power worldwide."
The DOE is also supporting Babcock & Wilcox mPower, Inc. (B&W mPower) and its design, which is based upon a 180-MW, integral pressurized water reactor design that uses a fully underground containment structure.
