What to know about Louisiana's nuclear energy aspirations
BATON ROUGE — Louisiana is one of five states that are finalists for a U.S. Department of Energy initiative to create nuclear lifecycle innovation campuses — developments that would encompass the refinement, use and recycling of nuclear fuel and disposal of waste. Louisiana is one of five finalists for a U.S. Department of Energy initiative to create nuclear lifecycle innovation campuses, which would involve the refinement, use and recycling of nuclear fuel and disposal of waste. The state's primary goal is to entice nuclear industry investment, which they believe could create an additional 25,000 jobs. Only one site will be chosen per state, with Idaho, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Utah expected to be chosen by later this year or early 2027. The Trump administration has said it will establish voluntary federal-state partnerships with the selected states but has yet to specify whether this involves financial support or preferential permitting treatment. Louisiana's proposal to the Trump administration in May included a multiparish approach to meeting all aspects of a nuclear lifcycle innovation campus, including a small modular reactor to power a "strategic military asset" in Northwest Louisiana.
