From life-saving medical treatments, to a reliable energy supply, to deep space exploration, nuclear makes it all happen.
1 Lifetime = 1 Soda Can
All the “waste” created by fueling your entire life with nuclear can fit in a single soda can. And the industry has safely managed and stored that used fuel in fortified structures for more than 60 years.
Nuclear energy is the single largest source of clean energy, generating power 24/7/365. It also accounts for nearly 20 percent of the nation's electricity, keeping your phones charged and lights on.
Nuclear makes a lot of energy with a very small amount of fuel. The amount of energy contained in a pellet of uranium fuel—the size of a gummy bear—could power a home for two and a half months.
Nuclear plants have a remarkably compact footprint, generating more power with less land. Advanced nuclear technologies will be even more compact and can easily integrate into sites that rely on diesel generators such as remote communities and military bases.
Nuclear plants provide much-needed funding for schools, first responders, and infrastructure like roads. A single nuclear facility creates thousands of stable, long-term careers and contributes $9B in tax revenue to local communities and states.
