WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced up to $13 million is available to industry through a new Advanced Nuclear Energy Licensing Cost-Shared Grant Program.
The competitive funding opportunity will help to defray the cost of licensing fees for first movers attempting to bring advanced reactors to market.
“As demand for clean, reliable energy continues to grow, we need to accelerate the deployment of advanced nuclear technologies,” said Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Nuclear Energy Dr. Michael Goff. “This program will increase regulatory certainty by joining together public and private funds to expedite the deployment and commercialization of both light-water and non-light water advanced reactor designs.”
Applications are due on April 8, 2025, by 5:00 p.m. ET. DOE anticipates announcing awardees later in 2025.
