✅After nearly 7 years of work, the NRC’s final Part 53 rule is not perfect, but it is a real step forward and worth recognizing as a significant accomplishment. It is the most significant modernization of reactor licensing in decades. https://t.co/1eYzXNqT70 @stoohill13

Aluminum smelting could hold the secrets to industrial decarbonization and advanced manufacturing. But to rebuild its aluminum sector, the U.S. needs to learn how and why China seized control.

@Woodymcnorway @Dr_A_Stein @TheBTI Russia is indeed a major player in nuclear. In this piece, though, I focused specifically on China’s domestic success and what the U.S. can learn from it. Russia’s export model will be a separate analysis.

How China Raced Ahead of the U.S. on Nuclear Power.
As @joyjiang1997 @thebti notes, serial orders allow developers to refine construction, streamline licensing, simplify the supply chain, and reduce costs.

One of my original findings: 19 out of 30 (63%) Chinese nuclear plants now under construction reached final investment decision (FCD) within just weeks of approval, while US plants waited for months or years for state/local approval after NRC construction permit.

Check out my latest article:
“What Can the U.S. Learn from Chinese Nuclear Deployment?”

It was cited today in The New York Times’ feature on the U.S.–China nuclear race.

In the article, I explain what is actually driving China’s nuclear execution success, and what the U.S. can realistically adapt, including:
• lower rate financing
• predictable licensing and regulatory certainty
• core design standardization
• orderbook deployment

If I had to plan a groundbreaking I wouldn't use a shiny shovel in a staged box of dirt. I would use a wheel loader. The point is to break ground and get to work, right?

Release: Commissioner Caputo announced her resignation from the NRC, a year before her term was scheduled to end. Caputo’s departure is a loss for the NRC and a setback for efforts to reform the agency. https://t.co/BosaGJUEn5

"The government should create a milestone-based program for advanced nuclear energy projects that incrementally reduces interest rates through credit subsidies when project milestones are achieved on time."

Important new report @TheBTI:

[Adam Stein @Dr_A_Stein]

🚨New paper out on reconsidering the radiation protection model at the NRC. The paper discusses what science indicates, what it cannot demonstrate, and how policy is separate but informed by science. We recommend a pragmatic, tiered approach that aligns with other hazards.

The Breakthrough Institute @thebti and Good Energy Collective @GoodEnergyColl support the renomination of David Wright to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. https://t.co/iiLJcwzvMF

The unprecedented step to remove Commissioner Hanson from the NRC could upend the current bipartisan support for nuclear energy. A return to partisan polarization will almost certainly cripple efforts to make progress. https://t.co/vSsqqGRORt

World Bank lifts ban on funding nuclear energy, enabling countries to choose the energy sources that fit their needs. This is particularly a boost for developing countries that need firm clean 24/7 electricity and industrial heat https://t.co/5dJ0RXRIub

@econpragmatist It has top-down goals, without top-down approaches.

[Adam Stein @Dr_A_Stein]

Recent nuclear related executive orders are intended to drive change. There is some positive and negative. Some saying the quiet part out loud, acknowledging tradeoffs, and benefits to society. The key will be implementation and a broader strategy https://t.co/Q2ybrcjGdh
