Today, the U.S. nuclear energy sector directly employs nearly 100,000 people. The supply chain—including fuel, manufacturing, and maintenance—supports four times that many jobs. These high-paying jobs anchor careers and communities.

Nuclear energy leads the way in clean, reliable, affordable power as America’s largest source of carbon-free energy. Studies have shown it to also be one of the safest forms of energy. We asked the expert, John Kotek, NEI’s senior vice president of policy development and public affairs, about just how safe nuclear power is.

Nuclear energy’s critical role in the world’s net zero goals has never been clearer. And voices in favor of nuclear have never been louder. Join us from June 20–22 in Washington, D.C., for this year’s annual Nuclear Energy Assembly (NEA).

Netflix is set to release a four-part docuseries this week about the accident in 1979 at the Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear facility near Harrisburg, PA. Here are the key facts.

Nuclear energy pairs perfectly with renewables such as wind and solar to create a reliable, clean energy system. It provides carbon-free, around-the-clock power to fill the gaps when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. Nuclear also complements renewables because it generates more power with less land.

This Earth Day’s theme is “Invest in Our Planet.” To protect our home, we must decarbonize our economies, and the most affordable, reliable, and clean way to do so is by investing in nuclear energy.

The Financial Times hosted a conference in Houston last week that brought leaders and experts together to tackle the pressing question—what’s next for America’s energy transition?

The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the world’s leading authority on climate research, released a report this week on the mitigation of climate change that includes nuclear energy in pathways to net zero.

Electric Vehicles are popular, in part, because they can reduce harmful emissions that impact the environment, our health and climate change. However, they are only as clean as the energy they use.

March is Women’s History Month, which celebrates the contributions women have made in a variety of fields. In the nuclear industry, women have been propelling technologies forward for decades, and it is important the industry continues to create a culture of investment in women and their success.
