Advanced reactors are moving from fascinating designs to reality, as innovative companies invest in hardware for next-generation nuclear technology.

Jigar Shah—solar investor, co-founder of Generate Capital Inc. and co-host of The Energy Gang podcast—joins Monica Trauzzi in this episode of “Off the Menu" at Centrolina in the CityCenterDC neighborhood.

Katie Mummah is an #ActualLivingScientist and a clean energy advocate. With Nuclear Science Week underway, we reached out to see why NuclearKatie—an engineer and graduate student—supports our largest source of carbon-free electricity.

One year ago, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that the planet would feel severe effects of climate change by 2030 without reducing carbon emissions. Here's what happened to the nation’s largest source of clean energy in the year since the IPCC’s warnings.

As policymakers, climate advocates and thought leaders look to value nuclear, the onus is back on the industry to show what we are doing to stay competitive. With baseball clearly on my mind, I ask, “Has the nuclear industry stepped up to the plate?”

If we want to protect the climate, we need to support nuclear carbon-free energy with smarter regulations at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Headlines about international climate strikes and the Green New Deal keep carbon emissions on everyone’s mind. More climate advocates and presidential candidates are in favor of using all carbon-free technologies, including nuclear, to fight climate change. But how do nuclear reactors work exactly?

September 20 is a big day: millions call for climate action, but a major source of carbon-free energy is lost.

NEI member company Duke Energy announced today that to achieve its carbon emission reduction targets it plans to extend the life of its entire fleet of nuclear power plants. Duke Energy’s announcement is one of the many examples of how nuclear energy is an important driver to meeting climate goals.

The Democratic presidential debates have opened a conversation on where nuclear energy fits into the solution on climate change. As the field of Democratic candidates begins to narrow, it’s important to set the record straight on nuclear. There are common misconceptions that you should be on the watch for as debates continue.
