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.
