It’s #NuclearScienceWeek! Episode 1 of Nuclear Energy 101 starts with the atom, plus some Virginia history: in April 1957, SM-1 at Fort Belvoir became the first U.S. nuclear plant to deliver power to the grid. From VT ANS & VNEC. youtube.com/shorts/SUjqe9p_v… #VirginiaIsForNuclear
Virginia is for nuclear. From fuel fabrication, shipbuilding, engineering, and construction to decades of safe, reliable power, Virginia leads in nuclear energy. Congrats to @GovernorVA & team on the 2026 Virginia Energy Plan.
Virginia's Energy Plan uses sophisticated modeling to chart four possible paths for Virginia's energy future.
As demand rises for energy, it's essential that Virginia carefully plans how to meet our clean energy goals while modernizing the grid, powering innovation, and driving growth.

🎃 Halloween is just three days away and nothing is spookier than not knowing what to dress up as!
Still scrambling for a last-minute costume? Don't worry—with the help of @ACC_National's Ricky the Reactor, we’ve got you covered with ideas that are (nu)clearly the best!
We’re keeping the momentum going!
Earlier this month, VNEC + partners (@theNIAorg, @cleanaircatf, & Virginia Innovative Nuclear Hub) hosted our 2nd Nuclear Energy 101 webinar.
👏 Thanks to @ErikCothron & Patrick White for an engaging session!

ON THIS DAY in 1973, Surry Unit 2 first connected to the electric grid.
The two-unit plant currently powers more than 420,000 homes in Virginia and supplies 14% of the state's total electricity.
