Late last week, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the Utility Power Reactor Incremental Scaling Effort (UPRISE), which “strives to significantly expand the United States’ nuclear energy capacity by increasing the power output of existing reactors, bringing dormant facilities back online, and completing stalled projects.”
The amount of funding available through the UPRISE program appears open-ended, with the DOE noting in a related press release that its Office of Nuclear Energy and Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) “has more than $289 billion in available loan authority.”
