NEI President and Chief Executive Officer Maria Korsnick appeared in the latest episode of the Through the Noise podcast with host Ernesto Guetzmann.

Connecticut Yankee is one of 10 reactor sites that, after generation of nuclear carbon-free energy ended, has been dismantled and cleaned so that the man-made radiation is virtually gone.

Nuclear Energy Institute CEO Korsnick shares what the future of energy looks like and how nuclear energy is helping solve the climate crisis.

Nuclear plants are working hard to keep their communities safe and powered as Hurricane Dorian approaches.

Beyond generating about 43 percent of Connecticut’s electricity and nearly all its emission-free power, the Millstone plant employs some 1,500 people that support the surrounding community in a wide variety of ways.

Hotter temperatures matter in the energy sector because summer months stress the electrical grid significantly more than winter months. But when summer brings extreme heat, nuclear provides reliable, clean electricity to the grid to keep you cool.

If the seemingly never-ending onslaught of climate news is making you feel hopeless, anxious, depressed or all of the above, you’re not alone.

In the United States, levels of nitrogen oxide—a pollutant closely tied to higher emphysema risk in the study—would increase by more than 26 percent without nuclear energy

Not many issues have bridged the left-right political divide in Washington, D.C., the way that advanced nuclear technology has. This bipartisan congressional support in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives will help advanced reactors—and the clean energy future they promise—become a reality.

As the internet prepares to raid Area 51 for aliens, NASA is using nuclear energy to go to deep space, seeking signs of extraterrestrial life on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan.
