Since more people—and even nations—face threats in the digital world, cybersecurity is critical. In the energy sector, nuclear plants have years of success and expertise in cybersecurity that allow them to stand among the most secure facilities in the country.

The Senate confirmed Rita Baranwal as Secretary of Energy of the DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy

While policymakers in Ohio consider legislation to preserve nuclear plants, grid operators confirmed the value of nuclear energy in providing affordable, clean energy to the region.

Steve Clemons, political commentator and editor-at-large of The Hill, sits down with Monica Trauzzi in the ninth episode of “Off the Menu," filmed at Officina in Washington, D.C.’s Wharf.

The Nuclear Energy Assembly (NEA) gathered thought leaders from the energy industry and beyond to talk about the United States’ largest source of carbon-free electricity. But now that it’s over, what’s next for nuclear energy for the rest of 2019? Here are the three biggest takeaways from NEA.

NEI presents Top Innovative Practice Awards each year at the Nuclear Energy Assembly to recognize the most remarkable efforts aimed at making the current fleet more efficient, reliable and cost-competitive. The TIP Awards highlight new solutions that teams at nuclear energy companies are using to drive the industry forward.

“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.
