The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) granted $22.1 million to 10 projects spearheaded by the industry. Among these, two are focused on enhancing clean hydrogen production using nuclear energy. The remaining initiatives aim to advance a microreactor design, address nuclear regulatory challenges, optimize the functioning of current reactors, and promote the development of advanced reactors. These endeavors are pivotal in furthering nuclear technology, ensuring it remains integral in achieving President Biden's climate and emissions-reduction objectives.
The funding is overseen by the DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy (NE). In partnership with NE, the DOE's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office will allocate funds and supervise the selected projects related to hydrogen production.
