Curtis | C001114 | www.curtis.senate.gov | curtis | https://www.curtis.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator John Curtis (R-UT) today applauded the U.S. Department of Energy’s announcement selecting Utah as one of five states to advance as a potential host for a Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus, a major initiative to strengthen America’s nuclear fuel supply chain, bolster energy security, and accelerate domestic nuclear innovation. “Utah has earned a reputation as one of the nation’s leaders in advanced energy innovation, and today’s announcement is another vote of confidence in our state’s future,” said Senator Curtis. “This is an incredible opportunity to strengthen American energydominance, bolster our domestic nuclear supply chain, and create new high-paying jobs right here in Utah. I thank President Trump, Secretary Wright, Governor Cox, and everyone who helped make Utah a leading contender for this transformational project.” Background: The Department of Energy selected Utah alongside Tennessee, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Idaho after reviewing applications from 26 states. The proposed campuses are expected to support the full nuclear fuel lifecycle—from fuel production and enrichment to advanced reactor deployment and manufacturing—while attracting significant private investment and creating thousands of high-paying jobs. If selected, a Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus could attract up to $50 billion in capital investment, generate as much as $10 billion in state and local tax revenue, and support nearly 25,000 jobs while advancing American nuclear capabilities. | 1 | 2026-07-29T07:41:48Z | 2026-07-29T07:42:57Z |
