United States Department of Energy
A federal agency of the United States government responsible for energy policy, nuclear weapons management, and related scientific research. During the Cold War it accumulated large numbers of tritium-containing nuclear warheads, and the helium-3 produced by their decay is collected by the department and sold to research institutions.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced a $5 billion loan to Constellation Energy for modernizing nuclear reactors.
This $5 billion loan falls under the category of direct loans and requires rigorous due diligence and congressional oversight.
X-energy's Xe-100 first-of-a-kind demonstration project is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program.
The U.S. Department of Energy has noted in several reports in recent years that converting retired coal plant sites into advanced nuclear facilities can save considerable grid-connection and civil construction costs, and leverage the community acceptance foundation of the original sites to reduce public resistance.
Agencies such as the U.S. Department of Energy and the NIH have already made AI part of their scientific research infrastructure.
According to U.S. Department of Energy data, the number of public charging piles across the United States has exceeded 170,000, but their distribution is highly uneven, being relatively dense in coastal urban areas and severely insufficient in the Midwest and rural areas.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) accumulated a helium-3 stockpile due to the decay of tritium in nuclear warheads during the Cold War, and sells it as a byproduct to scientific and industrial users.
The Genesis Mission is jointly driven by the White House and the U.S. Department of Energy, with tech policy official Michael Kratsios serving as the lead coordinator.
An organization announced it will invest $150 million this week into the Genesis Mission project led by the White House and the U.S. Department of Energy.
The national laboratory system under the U.S. Department of Energy currently comprises 17 national laboratories and employs more than 30,000 researchers.
