Dow lands in Texas the week its advanced nuclear project clears a key hurdle.

Dow flew from Baton Rouge to Texas Gulf Coast Regional Airport on May 25 — a 44-minute hop aboard the Bombardier CRJ-900 N892D. The aircraft, which Dow uses to shuttle engineering teams between its manufacturing sites, touched down at KLBX just after noon local time.

The same week, Dow received a federal green light for its advanced nuclear project in Seadrift, Texas. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission completed its Environmental Assessment with a Finding of No Significant Impact, per a May 18 company press release [corporate.dow.com](https://corporate.dow.com/en-us/news/press-releases/nrc-issues-environmental-assessment-with--finding-of-no-signific.html). The project, developed with X-energy, would provide electricity and high-temperature steam to Dow's UCC Seadrift Operations and is expected to be the first grid-scale advanced nuclear reactor at a U.S. industrial site.

The flight continues a pattern of frequent shuttling between Baton Rouge and Texas Gulf Coast. Over the past two weeks alone, N892D has made the same hop at least eight times — often connecting through Midland, Dow's headquarters. The NRC milestone likely provided fresh reason for technical teams to visit the Seadrift site.
