These projects, valued at $26.9 million including industry cost-share contributions, will allow industry-led teams to advance the state of domestic commercial nuclear capability. The awards are through the Office of Nuclear Energy's funding opportunity announcementU.S. Industry Opportunities for Advanced Nuclear Technology Development, in collaboration with the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office for the hydrogen-related selections. Subsequent application reviews and selection processes will be conducted through December 2022, as supported by Congressional appropriations. "We are excited to continue our partnership with the Office of Nuclear Energy," said Daniel R Simmons, Assistant Secretary for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. "After several years of working together, it will be valuable to see these real-world demonstration projects produce hydrogen and enable the integration of nuclear power with renewables."
