Visiting NEI

We look forward to welcoming you to Washington, D.C., and our award-winning headquarters. Inspired by a visit to the Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant in Maryland, NEI's office space reflects both the clean precision of nuclear power and the warm, collaborative nature of the communities that grow around nuclear plants.

NEI like many organizations around the country is adapting its policies to protect the health and safety of our members, visitors and employees. As such, NEI is instituting the following update to our visitor check-in process to reflect the current public health situation:
