More than 80 years after the scientists of the ‘Manhattan project’ took advantage of the power of the atom to end World War II, the high -secret workplace has a new mission to help dominate AI before China does it.
The first phase of the last uranium enrichment installation of the United States opened at Oak Ridge, Tennessee in May.
Uranium powers The nuclear reactors to which IA data centers are resorting to obtain reliable energy. They will use more energy as AI becomes more sophisticated, according to the CEO of Orano USA, Jean-Luc Palayer.
“The United States can lead in AI, only if we can boost the AI,” said Palayer. “To have that in mind and our new project on enrichment in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, we take a step forward in a new mission of the same consequence.”
Numerous Tennessee legislators joined Palayer for a tape cut of their new installation in Oak Ridge.

The United States Energy Information Administration reported that 99% of US nuclear fuel is imported from other countries. In 2023, most Uranium products in the United States came from Russia, Canada, Australia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The United States prohibited the importation of Russia uranium products in May 2024, but companies can still request exemptions until 2028.

“The United States is looking at the cannon of an energy crisis,” said Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. “We cannot lose the war against China. We cannot lose the energy war against Russia. To do that, we have to win the Renaissance War of Nuclear Energy in the United States.”

At the end of May, President Trump signed four executive orders aimed at quadruply the production of national nuclear energy by 2050. Orders include a deadline for publication of a report on how to strengthen the conversion capacity of domestic uranium and enrichment capacities. Order the government to update its nuclear energy policies to rationalize production. At least 10 large nuclear reactors must be under construction at the latest 2030, according to the order.

Meanwhile, China plans to build 10 new nuclear energy reactors every year during the next decade, totaling 100 reactors by 2035. A list of US nuclear reactors published by the National Energy Institute shows that the United States has built three in the last 30 years.

Despite the rapid growth of capacity in 2022, nuclear energy was only about 5% of China’s accumulated energy generation that year. Nuclear energy represents approximately 18% of the combination of electricity generation in the United States.

“We cannot wait 10 years to build nuclear reactors in this country.” That is the time I used to take to approve them, allow them, build them, “said Lee.” We are not 10 years old. China will have built 150 in 10 years. “
In 2023, the Energy Department reported that data centers used an estimated 176 TWH. This number is expected to increase between 325 and 580 TWH by 2028. The department estimated that the AI data centers will use approximately 12% of the US energy. UU. Annually by 2028, enough to feed New York city for 11 years.
