A bipartisan group of U.S. senators has introduced the Nuclear Energy Leadership Act (NELA), a bill designed to help America recapture its lead in nuclear energy technology in the face of increasing global competition. The legislation includes a comprehensive proposal to fund research, development and accelerated deployment of advanced nuclear energy technologies.
The Nuclear Energy Leadership Act (NELA), introduced today establishes a significant strategic pact between the federal government, our national labs, and the nuclear industry in a clear effort to address the United States’ vulnerable position as the world’s leader in nuclear technology.
Through nearly two decades of running a successful student program at the Radiation Protection Forum, students are set up for a world of opportunity, in an area of need for our industry.
In a world that will increasingly need to make deep reductions in carbon emissions to mitigate the impacts of climate change, nuclear energy’s main value—its massive potential to decarbonize economies—must not be allowed to slip away, a new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology says.
MIT’s Energy Initiative released “The Future of Nuclear Energy in a Carbon-Constrained World,” on the future of nuclear energy in the U.S. This assessment underscores the critical role nuclear energy plays in ensuring affordable electricity, as well as providing a large share of low-carbon generation.
