WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy today awarded over $19 million to five U.S. companies to research and develop recycling technologies for used nuclear fuel. Projects will support President Trump’s bold and ambitious nuclear energy agenda by helping to maximize reliable power production, end U.S. reliance on foreign sources of enriched uranium, and drastically reducing the volume of used fuel stored across the country.
