Constellation is in the middle of a major digital I&C modernization at Limerick. The project team describes it as the nuclear industry’s first safety related digital I&C control upgrade of this scale. There are other digital upgrades to point to, but not one quite like this. At the same time, energy companies are figuring […]

The nuclear workforce shortage is well-documented at this point. Thirty to forty percent of the industry is approaching retirement age, demand is growing across operating plants, license renewals, new builds, and the SMR pipeline, and the traditional answer has been the same: find someone who already has nuclear experience. But that search is getting […]

The American Nuclear Society recently highlighted the top states leading nuclear development right now. New plants. Life extensions. Advanced reactor projects. Fuel and supply chain investment. What the article makes clear is that more states than ever are entering the nuclear conversation. But when interest turns into execution, the pressure doesn’t spread evenly. The […]
