On this episode of The Pair Program, hosts Tim Winkler and Mike Gruen sit down with Michelle Urben, Managing & General Partner at Synergos, and Edward McGinnis, CEO of Curio, to explore how deep tech innovation is reshaping energy and resilience. From the DMV to global markets, they discuss what it takes to build solutions for some of the world’s toughest challenges.
Efforts to stand up nuclear fuel recycling projects accelerated this month with two major announcements — easing concern that the United States is moving too slowly to develop a supply chain for advanced reactors.
Curio, based in Washington, D.C., said that national laboratory teams at Idaho, Oak Ridge, Pacific Northwest and Sandia completed “critical laboratory-scale demonstrations” of its NuCycle recycling process under the Department of Energy’s ARPA-E energy technology program.
New Technology Demonstrated in Multiple DOE National Lab Public-Private Partnership Will Strengthen U.S. Energy Security and Environmental Stewardship
Curio, a leader in advanced nuclear technologies, today announced the successful completion of groundbreaking laboratory-scale demonstrations in collaboration with four U.S. Department of Energy laboratories – Idaho National Laboratory (INL), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and Sandia National Laboratories – supported by DOE’s ARPA-E CURIE program and GAIN voucher initiative.
Ed McGinnis explains how the U.S. can turn nuclear waste into a national asset through Curio’s NuCycle recycling technology, reducing dependence on Russian uranium and cutting waste by over 90 percent, while aligning with Trump’s historic executive orders to achieve nuclear fuel independence.
Today, during the annual USA Nuclear Generator & Supplier Executive Summit in Nashville, Curio, an innovative leader in advanced nuclear technologies, and Utilities Service Alliance, Inc. (USA), a non-profit cooperative that facilitates collaboration among electric utilities
Nuclear reprocessing technology has advanced significantly in the 80 years since aqueous technologies were developed near the end of World War II, thanks to innovation from the private sector in the U.S.
With clean energy demand surging, SMR developers are targeting data centre operators as early adopters.
Nuclear power: to the children of the 80s, it carried the weight of Cold War tension and cautionary tales.
Friday’s suite of executive orders issued by the President marks a watershed moment for American nuclear policy and its nuclear sector. For the first time in U.S. history, the federal government has formally adopted a national strategy to commercialize nuclear fuel recycling and maximize the use of transuranic isotopes in advanced reactors—signaling the dawn of a closed nuclear fuel cycle economy and a golden age for U.S. nuclear energy.
Researchers in the UK have built a ‘diamond battery’ that could power devices forever – but how did they do it, and what will it be useful for?
It was 2015 and Neil Fox, a professor of materials for energy at the University of Bristol, UK, had been drafted along with his colleague Professor Tom Scott to assist with the decommissioning of graphite core reactors at the UK’s Magnox fleet.
