Steam feeding into the Unit 3 turbine generator of the Vogtle nuclear power plant in Waynesboro, Ga. “The United States is now committed to trying to accelerate the deployment of nuclear energy,” John Kerry, President Biden’s climate envoy, said in September. One recent Pew survey found that 57 percent of Americans favor more nuclear plants, up from 43 percent in 2016. A NuScale engineer gave a tour of a control room simulator, modeling the company’s plans for new nuclear reactors, in 2013. “The demand for clean energy is almost unprecedented,” said Maria Korsnick, president of the Nuclear Energy Institute, an industry group.

CNN —The Department of Energy official responsible for nuclear fuel and radioactive waste is no longer employed by the federal agency after two alleged airport baggage theft incidents, according to local reports and court records. Sam Brinton, the former deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy, was charged in December for grand larceny in Nevada. Brinton was accused of stealing luggage from Harry Reid International Airport, according to a report from KLAS. By law, the Department of Energy cannot comment further on personnel matters,” a department spokesperson said. Prior to joining the Department of Energy, Brinton served in roles at several think tanks, including the Bipartisan Policy Center, the Breakthrough Institute and Third Way.
☆ Forced Uyghur labor is being used in China's solar panel supply chain, researchers say

The world's biggest solar producers employ forced Uyghur labor, according to new research. The alleged use of forced Uyghur labor could threaten the growth of the global solar supply chain. The rest of the solar panel parts, like solar cells and solar panels, are assembled in other plants across China, the researchers wrote. China's dominance of the global solar supply chain could slow down the world's transition to clean energyMany countries, including the US, rely on Chinese imports for most of its panels, according to Bloomberg. China's dominance of the global solar market may expose the solar supply chain to a greater risk of disruptions from geopolitical disputes, extreme weather, and shifts in the economy, Seaver Wang, a researcher involved in the study, told Insider.
