## Resource

Louisiana is betting big on nuclear energy, unveiling a bold three-part plan to enrich uranium, power data centers, and store waste offshore in the Gulf—aiming to meet industrial demand, boost national security, and even repurpose some waste for medicine. The state’s push includes testing enrichment in Baton Rouge, with plans to inject radioactive waste into underwater salt domes three miles out, potentially sidestepping land-based regulations. But critics are raising alarms over safety risks for fishermen, oil operations, and river users. Officials stress offshore storage is just one option among many, with ongoing talks with the DOE and a full rollout still years away.
