We are still talking about the NOW Conference. It was a momentous event for ETEC and we hope, for our region. 

Not only did the number of attendees double from last year, but we've had feedback that the environment was welcoming, businesses were able to connect, and the content presented through the keynote speakers and panels was informative, insightful, and at times, inspiring.

Visit the new NOW webpage on the ETEC site for a summary and to see photos from the event. Thanks again to all of our NOW supporters, speakers, attendees, and Nuclear Working Group. Thanks also to our members and partners for helping us spread the word.

Just a reminder to submit your comments regarding the environmental assessment for the Oak Ridge Airport Project before Friday, August 18, at 6:00 p.m. Click here to view the web page that contains the Environmental Assessment document and FAQ’s about the project. Written comments should be submitted to (City of Oak Ridge) or FAA Memphis District Office; 2600 Thousand Oaks Blvd., Suite 2250; Memphis, TN 38118, or may be emailed to: mark.paslick@gmcnetwork.com.

ETEC Welcomes Type One Energy Group as a new member.

Type One Energy Group promotes the use of the power of the sun to preserve natural resources and quality of life here on the Earth. Type One Energy is executing its FusionDirect technology program, which is a partner-rich, capital-efficient path to commercializing fusion energy. The program builds upon the exceptional network of fusion partners. Co-founders of the Type One team proved the benefits of stellarators with their construction of the HSX and W7-X machines. These operating stellarators demonstrate excellent agreement between theory and real-world design. With scientific validations complete, the pilot plant can proceed to achieve stellarator fuel ignition conditions (Q = infinity) and put fusion electrons on the grid.
