LCG, May 14, 2026--The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced today that it is proposing a rule to revise wastewater limits, known as effluent limitations guidelines (ELG), for steam electric power plants that will help improve grid reliability and lower electricity prices while continuing to support clean and safe water resources. If finalized, the EPA's proposal is estimated to reduce electricity generation costs by as much as $1.1 billion annually, which could provide cost-savings to American consumers.

LCG, May 14, 2026--The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the selection of eight companies to support the near-term deployment of advanced light-water small modular reactors (SMRs) in the United States. The DOE states that awardees will collectively receive more than $94 million in Federal cost-shared funding to spur additional Gen III+ SMR deployments by addressing key gaps that have hindered the domestic nuclear industry in licensing, supply chain, and site preparation.

German Nuke Shutdown Draws Fire from All Sides
LCG, June 11, 2001A deal between German Chancellor Gerhard Schrder and the German electric industry to phase out nuclear generation in the country was to be signed in Berlin this afternoon, but was drawing fire from both pro-nuclear and anti-nuke interests this morning.And in the middle, some said the nuclear shutdown would take so long to accomplish that sentiments could change before even one nuclear plant was decommissioned.Pro-nuclear forces contend that Germany, Europe's most populous state and strongest economy, will be unable to meet its commitments under the 1997 Kyoto global warming accords without nuclear generation of electricity. The generation from the nuclear plants, which provide a third of Germany's electric power, would be replaced by coal- and natural gas-fueled conventional plants.Anti-nuke activists oppose the deal because there is no hard and fast timetable for the shutdown program.The agreement between Schrder and four nuclear generators was reached yesterday when the last of the companies, Eon, agreed to the now-watered-down terms.Eon chairman Ulrich Hartman thinks future German governments will unwind the deal, pointing out that "nothing in life is irreversible." Hartman told the daily newspaper Die Welt "I'm sure that nuclear energy will still play an important role in the future."
