The Nuclear Energy Institute launched its new “Generation” advertising campaign showing how nuclear energy is the choice to build a better tomorrow for future generations. Generation will elevate the nuclear brand beyond D.C. and onto screens across the country—illustrating a net zero future that is possible through nuclear energy. 

Thanks to increasing demand and interest in advanced nuclear energy, NEI has a new Advanced Nuclear Hub with all the resources you need on the topic.

Heat waves are sweeping the United States and other parts of the world. Thankfully, there’s a solution that can help power a brighter (and cooler) future for communities around the world—nuclear energy.

Climate and energy security needs are driving the growing consensus around clean, reliable nuclear. Investors and customers are jumping in because they know those concerns are never going away. As we turn demand into new builds, the world will be looking to the financial community to help secure an affordable, net-zero future. 

The Price-Anderson Act has been meeting its twin aims of protecting the public and encouraging the development of commercial nuclear power for more than 65 years, with minimal costs to the federal government and the U.S. taxpayer. The next extension of the Act should promote the continued achievement of those twin aims over the long term.

NEI was in Paducah, Kentucky, to discuss the opportunity of nuclear energy for interested communities.

Instead of reviews getting faster and requiring fewer resources as the NRC and the industry gain experience with the regulatory processes, the data shows that the more the NRC performs reviews, the longer the review takes and the more resources are required.

The road to economy-wide decarbonization is being met with high traffic, which, if well run, will ensure a sustainable future for our planet. One path to that future is through hydrogen. But hydrogen production currently relies heavily on splitting natural gas, a carbon-emitting process. Here's where nuclear energy shines.

Nuclear Energy Assembly (NEA) attendees heard from energy and environmental experts, government leaders, Hollywood screenwriters, and even had the chance to see a live recording of The Carbon Copy podcast.

Demand for nuclear energy is unprecedented, with more and more reports predicting nuclear output will have to increase substantially to meet energy transition targets. And that new reality for nuclear was on full display at last week’s Nuclear Energy Assembly (NEA) in Washington, D.C.
