At a time when so many people are in need, companies across all sectors – including those in the nuclear industry – are taking actions to lessen the impact of COVID-19's spread.

NEI President and Chief Executive Officer Maria Korsnick details how the nuclear industry has responded to COVID-19.

As the world aims to stabilize the climate, more carbon-free energy sources like nuclear fusion will be needed.

In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the hardworking women who are leaders in energy.

The world is divided into energy “haves” and “have-nots.” The future of the climate depends on how the have-nots will get the energy they need—and nuclear energy is key to the solution.

TV shows and movies don’t always depict the real threats. But rest assured, the industry’s seasoned cyber experts work constantly—with the U.S. intelligence community, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and each other—to stay one step ahead of hackers.

Any zero-carbon electricity system will have to rely on wind, solar and nuclear, which currently make up nearly 80 percent of the carbon-free energy in the United States. Nuclear energy—which will include new advanced reactors—will play a key role since it generates reliable electricity around-the-clock.

The 2020s will be the decade of innovations in nuclear energy. The technologies and tools that will enable advanced nuclear reactors to become a reality are being developed now.The U.S. Department of Energy’s Versatile Test Reactor is one of those cutting-edge, specialized tools.

NEI’s Maria Korsnick sat down with Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) on his new podcast “We Hold These Truths” to discuss some of the misconceptions of nuclear energy that come from popular televisions programs such as “The Simpsons” and HBO’s “Chernobyl.”

With the New Hampshire primary upon us and Super Tuesday soon, national attention is turning to the 2020 election. The Democratic candidates all say that it’s time for us to get serious about protecting the climate.

Between the standard cell phone and candy ads at this year’s Super Bowl, you may have noticed a new advertising trend emerging: car companies running commercials for their new plug-in electric vehicle (EV) models. Four different companies—GM, Porsche, Audi and Ford—spent an average of $5.6 million on 30 second spots featuring celebrities or high-speed chases to generate buzz and hopefully persuade Americans to consider going electric.
