The following Ninth District project will receive funds from NIST: Project Name: Energy DELTA Lab – Utilization of Former Mine Lands for the Deployment of Advanced Nuclear Project Recipient Name: Energy DELTA Lab, located in Wise, Virginia Amount Received: $1,415,000 “Southwest Virginia is fertile ground for an energy renaissance. One project that will contribute to our region’s energy future is led by Energy DELTA Lab. That is why I am a proud advocate of this project, which I helped support by securing more than $1.4 million in federal funding. “This NIST site assessment brings Energy DELTA Lab one step closer to carrying out its goals for an innovative and timely project. “As someone who is a leading proponent of redeveloping former mine lands for new uses, I am excited to see Energy DELTA Lab advance nuclear energy solutions.” BACKGROUND The above community project funding request was submitted by Rep.
