America Now Disassembling Old Nuclear Warheads to Power Nuclear Reactors
Briefly

Nuclear power is increasingly recognized as a viable low-emission energy source, especially with the development of small modular reactors (SMRs) that are cheaper and more efficient.
The innovative practice of melting down weapons-grade uranium from unexploded warheads exemplifies a resourceful approach to fueling next-generation SMRs amid dwindling traditional uranium supplies.
As the US distances itself from Russian uranium, startups like TerraPower are racing to secure government support for uranium enrichment, emphasizing the urgency in energy security.
Billions in government investment for uranium enrichment reflects a growing emphasis on local supply chains for low-emission nuclear energy as global dynamics shift.
