ORNL researchers used #3Dprinting to produce the first defect-free complex tungsten parts for use in extreme environments. This milestone could have positive implications for #cleanenergy technologies such as #fusion . ornl.gov/news/shatterin…

How do you hold a ton of coal in your fingertips 🤏?

Replace it with a uranium fuel pellet. It yields the same amount of energy as 17,000 cubic feet of natural gas, 149 gallons of oil or 1 ton of coal!

Nuclear reactors convert one third of the heat they produce into electricity.

The remaining heat is released to the environment, which could be harnessed to meet process heat demands. 👇

“These aren’t your parents’ reactors.” 

U.S. Department of Energy's Dr. Mike Goff breaks down what you need to know about advanced reactors.

Problem: 95% of the hydrogen produced in the U.S. comes from natural gas--- resulting from emissions.

Solution: Split water into pure hydrogen and oxygen with nuclear power.

This #PrideMonth and every day, we celebrate LGBTQ+ Americans and their invaluable contributions to every industry and every community. We are resolved to fight hate and discrimination and champion LGBTQ+ people so everyone can enjoy the promises of this great nation.

Today, the Southern Company family along with federal leaders gathered to celebrate the two newest nuclear units in the U.S., Vogtle Units 3 and 4. This project is a shining example of the power and impact we can achieve when we work collaboratively. Thank you for helping us

Georgia is home to one of the largest generators of clean energy in the United States.

Since adding Units 3 and 4, Vogtle is now the largest nuclear power station in America and the largest source of carbon-free electricity for our grid.
