Utah's RFI for a 'nuclear life‑cycle innovation campus' drew responses from 28 states, Wright says
Summary
Secretary Wright told the audience Utah submitted a strong response to a federal RFI for a nuclear life‑cycle innovation campus; he said 28 states expressed interest and that campuses would aim to host fuel fabrication, reprocessing and isotope production.
Secretary Chris Wright praised Utah's response to a federal request for information and said the solicitation drew 28 state responses for hosting a nuclear life‑cycle innovation campus. He described the campus as a place to host end‑to‑end nuclear industry activities, from fuel fabrication to isotope production for medical uses.
Wright argued the campuses would use spent fuel more productively, provide process heat for heavy manufacturing, and create jobs. "The response of Utah to this solicitation ... was 1 word: outstanding," Wright said, and he indicated that the administration expects more than one such campus across several states.
