Tennessee Governor Bill Lee announced Monday that the U.S. Department of Energy selected Tennessee as a finalist to host a “Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus.”
According to the governor’s office, the campus could bring billions of dollars in economic investment and create thousands of jobs. The DOE said the campus would support the development of domestic nuclear fuel cycle capabilities, accelerate the development of advanced nuclear technologies, and reinforce America’s energy security.
