Duke Energy has taken a step toward its carbon-free future by recognizing the importance of small modular reactors in meeting its energy goals.
In a step forward for carbon-free energy innovation, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission moved closer to licensing a small modular reactor (SMR) on Friday, by issuing a final safety evaluation report for NuScale's power plant.
The approval of NuScale’s small modular reactor design is not only a monumental milestone for NuScale but is a crucial step for the future of the industry.
Statement from the Nuclear Energy Institute's Maria Korsnick on Exelon Generation's announcement to close Byron and Dresden nuclear stations in 2021.
Many new reports and headlines point to hydrogen’s potential for revolutionizing many industries. But what many of these stories miss—and what a new study from the Energy Options Network shows—is how nuclear energy might be the best way to make green hydrogen without carbon emissions. This is just another reason nuclear energy is important for any climate solution.
This year’s hurricane season is expected to be extremely active. For years, nuclear plants have safely operated during hurricanes and other extreme weather events, but how will the next generation of reactors reliably power areas through natural disasters?
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Barry Worthington, the executive director of the United States Energy Association (USEA).
Demand is growing for electricity and for water, and the world needs a solution that preserves the climate. A new reactor will cut the cooling water used by more than 90 percent.
The Senate voted today to confirm Mark Menezes as Deputy Secretary of the Department of Energy.
The global transition to a low-carbon economy will involve trillions of dollars. For some it will be an expense; for others, revenue. And U.S. exporters of nuclear energy hardware and expertise could see well over $1 trillion in business by mid-century.
NEI statement on new DFC policy to allow funding of new nuclear energy projects.
Although the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published their special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 ºC nearly two years ago, the climate crisis is gaining increasingly more bipartisan attention in Washington, D.C. Mitigation strategies that support all forms of carbon-free energy generation, including nuclear, have gained notable popularity across the political spectrum
