“Nuclear Power in a Clean Energy System” is the IEA’s first report on nuclear energy in almost 20 years, and it calls attention to just how important nuclear is to meeting carbon reduction goals.

Last week, Exelon Corp. demonstrated how beneficial it can be to update the approach to implementation of these rules. Because of NEI and the industry's work, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant was able to efficiently maintain a piece of equipment while still generating carbon-free nuclear energy.

Against the challenging backdrop of flawed energy markets that don’t fully recognize the benefits that nuclear provides, governors and states have acted to preserve nuclear, a clean energy resource.

More than 100 leaders in this national security have formed a new organization, the Nuclear Energy and National Security Coalition, urging policymakers to act to regain U.S. leadership.

Innovation drives the nuclear industry. 3D-printing—like we saw with Oak Ridge and the Navy—and advanced manufacturing can revolutionize how we use carbon-free nuclear energy to power our way of life.

The nuclear industry will showcase this new momentum at this year’s annual conference and supplier expo, the Nuclear Energy Assembly. Taking place June 3-5 in Washington, D.C., NEA is the gathering place for leaders from all areas of the nuclear industry.

NEI's Maria Korsnick will sign the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion, joining the CEOs of 600 major companies, including NEI members such as Dominion, Duke Energy, Exelon, First Energy, PSEG, Southern and Xcel, to raise awareness about issues relating to diversity and inclusion.

In remote places, fueling an electric generator is so expensive that some people spend half their income on energy. In states like Alaska—with hundreds of remote communities—micro-reactors would enable these communities to power their way of life at a lower cost while protecting the climate.

In technology-neutral, clean energy standards, nuclear energy is included—alongside wind, solar, hydropower and fossil fuel with carbon capture—as one of the clean technologies that can help states reach their ambitious environmental goals.

HBO will begin a five-part miniseries called Chernobyl on May 6, based on the nuclear accident in the Soviet Union. Viewers might see the Hollywood treatment and wonder what the relevance is outside the USSR. The short answer is: not much.
