Dairyland Power Cooperative Explores Small Modular Reactor Deployment in Wisconsin

Dairyland Power Cooperative Explores Small Modular Reactor Deployment in Wisconsin

Dairyland Power Cooperative, based in Wisconsin, has signed a letter of intent with Applied Atomics Inc. to evaluate the deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) at its Genoa site in southwest Wisconsin. This initiative is part of Dairyland's strategy to diversify its energy portfolio and integrate a baseload, zero-carbon energy source. The Genoa site previously hosted a nuclear plant, which has since been decommissioned, but still retains a federally licensed spent fuel storage installation. Applied Atomics' SMR design utilizes Generation III+ light-water reactor technology, which runs on low-enriched uranium, similar to most commercial light-water nuclear plants. Dairyland President and CEO Brent Ridge stated that this agreement allows them to closely examine Applied Atomics' technology and its potential to complement their evolving generation portfolio.

Proposed Overhaul of U.S. Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule Raises Concerns Over Insurance Coverage and Vulnerable Populations

Proposed Overhaul of U.S. Child and Adolescent Immunization Schedule Raises Concerns Over Insurance Coverage and Vulnerable Populations

A proposed overhaul of the U.S. child and adolescent immunization schedule, currently held up in federal court, could significantly reduce the number of recommended vaccines from 17 to 11. This change would re-categorize some vaccines, recommending them only for high-risk children or allowing them through shared clinical decision-making between providers and patients. A state official highlighted that if this overhaul becomes reality, it could have substantial implications for insurance coverage. Health plans are currently mandated to cover vaccines recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and approved by the CDC director. If a vaccine is no longer officially recommended, health plans may not be required to cover it, potentially impacting population health. Furthermore, the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program, which provides vaccines to uninsured, underinsured, Medicaid-eligible, and American Indian/Alaska Native children, only covers ACIP-recommended immunizations. A reductio...

Virginia Department of Health to Overhaul Oversight of Non-Skilled In-Home Care Services Following JLARC Report

Virginia Department of Health to Overhaul Oversight of Non-Skilled In-Home Care Services Following JLARC Report

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is implementing significant changes to its oversight of non-skilled home care organizations (HCOs) in response to a report by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC). Dr. Cameron Webb, State Health Commissioner, stated that the VDH agrees with JLARC's central finding that the current system requires substantial improvement to ensure safe and high-quality care for Virginians. The VDH acknowledges issues such as lengthy delays in inspections and initial licensure, staffing and capacity constraints, and gaps in enforcement. To address these deficiencies, the VDH plans to restore timely oversight by organizing inspections into two regions—Northern Virginia and the rest of the state—to reduce travel and improve efficiency. They will also modernize initial licensure by separating application review from field inspections, strengthen enforcement and accountability through standardized procedures, and build sustainable operating capacity by requesting 18 ad...
