AUSTIN, Texas (June 11, 2026) – The Texas Nuclear Alliance (TNA) is proud to announce that Raven-Flint, an advanced nuclear fuel cycle company specializing in domestic uranium conversion, has joined as a member.  

“Raven-Flint is helping lay the foundation for a stronger energy future by closing a critical gap in the nuclear supply chain,” said TNA President Reed Clay. “Raven-Flint’s work to expand uranium conversion capacity is a vital step forward that strengthens energy security, supports advanced reactor deployment, and solidifies Texas’s position as a growing hub for the future of nuclear power.” 

“We’re excited to be supporting the Executive Order to expand domestic conversion capacity, and we’re even more excited to be replacing imports of Russian material by making our first deliveries in 2028,” said Raven-Flint CEO Nick Smith, who previously served at INL as the Project Director for the Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment.  “Building in Texas offers the opportunity for close proximity to our supply chain partners and customers in the state.”  The company has an LOI in place with TNA Founding Member Aalo Atomics for conversion services beginning in 2028.

About the Texas Nuclear Alliance

TNA is the only industry association in Texas dedicated to the advancement of nuclear technology in the state. Formed in 2022 in the aftermath of Winter Storm Uri, and comprising of over 70 member entities today, TNA is based on the fundamental premise that if Texas and the world want low-carbon, reliable energy, it can no longer turn its back on nuclear energy. In the 89th Texas Legislature, TNA helped pass four nuclear-dedicated bills, including House Bill 14, a $350 million investment by the state in nuclear energy—the largest of its kind in the U.S—that led to the creation of the Texas Advanced Nuclear Energy Office (TANEO). TNA was formed with a singular mission: to make Texas the Nuclear Capital of the World. Nuclear is clean, safe, reliable, and secure.
