WYOMING NUCLEAR PROJECTS
Each green icon on the interactive map above represents a nuclear project occurring in Wyoming. All of these projects are also listed below under PROJECT LIST. New projects will be added as we discover them. To learn about any project:
1) Click the 
and it will turn red and provide a link; 2) Click the pop-up link above the 
to read what we have uncovered on that project.
The nuclear energy pipeline that begins with mining uranium and ends with spent nuclear fuel generally occurs in the sequential process illustrated above. As noted with the bucking bronco, mining and manufacturing are already part of WY legacy industries and workforce – and most Wyomingites are very proud of that. Uranium enrichment for fuel fabrication, the creation of nuclear energy via deployed reactors, and the issue of storing spent nuclear fuel (SNF) have never been legacy industries in Wyoming.
