Canadian Energy: Canadian Nuclear Association

Energy Council of Canada

“Ontario is the major nuclear province; two huge generating stations at Bruce Power and Darlington. Both undergoing refurbishments. It’s a 26-billion-dollar project, the largest infrastructure project in Canada now. We are proudly telling the world these projects, halfway through, are on time and on budget.”

How States are Integrating Advanced Nuclear

A Path Toward Carbon Reduction Goals

“Both recent pieces of federal legislation increase the appeal to states of new clean energy technologies such as advanced nuclear. Take a deeper dive into how states are planning for advanced nuclear by reviewing the newly released NARUC and NASEO Advanced Nuclear State Action Tracker.”

Small Modular Reactors are Indeed Coming

“We see opportunities, especially with the Inflation Reduction Act. There’s a lot of benefit to coal plant repurposing from a cost-per-megawatt-hour savings with the tax credit. You gain more tax credit benefit from hydrogen production.”

Commissioner Wright on Nuclear's Future

Nuclear Regulatory Commission

“We recognize the NRC can license new and advanced designs using existing regulations, but applicants need exemptions to do so. Nobody wants to use the exemption process indefinitely to regulate. At some point, regulations need to be aligned.”

New Nuclear's Role in Decarbonization

NEI, Breakthrough Inst.

“As difficult as it might seem to build a nuclear power plant, building multi-state transmission has proven more difficult. The Princeton study shows need for 3 or 4 times as much new transmission capacity added if you do the whole job with just renewables versus firm clean generation from things like nuclear.”

New Nuclear is Real

Carbon-free power

“The most important element that aligns for a hopeful future for nuclear is a recognition of noncarbon-generation benefits it provides that we don’t receive from other forms of generation. Half of the power in the U.S. that is carbon-free is produced by nuclear power.”

Building Nuclear in Wyoming

Conversation with Rocky Mountain Power CEO Gary Hoogeveen and TerraPower CEO Chris Levesque about the federal government-supported sodium-cooled fast reactor they’re planning to complete in Kemmerer, Wyoming by 2028.

Future of Nuclear is Here

Combined modules produce up to 720 mw of power.

NuScale is the only small module reactor vendor having their design certification application reviewed by the NRC, not only in the U.S., but in the world.
