- Here’s what Gov. Bill Lee says about possible Tennessee nuclear-waste sites
Tennessee explores a federal nuclear-energy program that could involve handling used nuclear fuel, with potential economic benefits including up to $50 billion in investment and 25,000 jobs. Governor Bill Lee stated the state has not yet identified potential sites due to unclear federal requirements, and Tennessee is one of five states selected to discuss hosting Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses.
- 5 states selected as finalists for nuclear innovation hubs
The U.S. Department of Energy has selected five states as finalists to host Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses. The initiative aims to advance nuclear innovation through dedicated hubs.

- Tennessee named finalist for federal partnership involving nuclear energy sites
Tennessee is a finalist for a U.S. Department of Energy program to expand nuclear energy infrastructure, including facilities for the full nuclear fuel lifecycle. The state has a history of nuclear activity through the Tennessee Valley Authority and Oak Ridge, but concerns exist about radioactive waste transparency and long-term commitments to increased nuclear production.
- Tennessee selected as finalist to potentially accept nuclear waste in exchange for federal assistance developing nuclear energy
Tennessee is one of five states selected to potentially host Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses, which would accept nuclear waste in exchange for federal assistance to develop nuclear energy. The initiative could bring up to $50 billion in capital investment, $10 billion in state and local tax revenue, and create nearly 25,000 jobs.
- 5 states offer to accept nuclear waste in exchange for help developing nuclear energy
Five states (Tennessee, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Utah, and Idaho) have agreed to accept nuclear waste in exchange for federal support to develop nuclear energy, aiming to create jobs and economic growth. The plan includes establishing Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses with waste storage, uranium enrichment, and energy projects, potentially attracting $50 billion in investment.
