Nuclear Fund Project Database
The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD) is committed to an open and transparent government. This searchable database is designed to better assist the public in accessing project data for the Nuclear Energy Supply Chain Investment Fund.
The Nuclear Energy Fund was approved by the Tennessee General Assembly in the 2023-2024 budget. The $50 million fund aims to expand the state’s nuclear development and manufacturing ecosystem by providing grants and assistance to support nuclear power-related businesses and education/training programs across Tennessee.
