Five States Step Up for Nuclear Waste | Reno News

Five states are stepping up to host nuclear waste—and they’re getting big federal incentives in return. Tennessee, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Utah, and Idaho will build Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses designed not just to store waste, but to fuel a nuclear renaissance: uranium enrichment, fuel reprocessing, advanced reactors, and even AI-powered data centers. With potential to attract $50 billion in private investment and $10 billion in tax revenue, this move could create thousands of jobs and revive America’s nuclear industry—especially as demand surges from data centers and AI. States with Republican leadership are framing it as national leadership, while Congress now must authorize and oversee these ambitious projects.
