In a significant development for the Energy DELTA Lab in Wise, Congressman Morgan Griffith has successfully obtained $1.4 million in funding through a recently approved appropriations bill by the House of Representatives. This financial backing is earmarked for investigating the feasibility of deploying advanced nuclear reactors on sites previously utilized for coal mining. According to a statement from Griffith’s office, this initiative aims to transition these lands into hubs of clean, modern energy production.
