Nuclear
Why Nuclear Energy is a Matter of National Security
Only One State Remains on the Path
Only Georgia continues to build new nuclear generation and keep the U.S. moving forward.
Solving Communication Challenges at Nuclear Plants
Utilizing Low Frequency Technology
Game-changer: A distributed antenna system enables a host of devices to operate from one platform.
Decreasing Power Prices Pressure Nuclear Fleet
Spotlight on Merchant Markets
Nuclear plants likely to be most at risk for early closure are in deregulated wholesale markets.
Nuclear Closures
Where is the Public Interest?
Debates rage in state houses across the country about subsidizing the weakening nuclear power industry. Not for new nuclear plants, but rather subsidies to prevent the early retirement of existing nuclear power stations.
Zero Emissions Credits
State Priorities vs. Regional Differences
Recently adopted state programs to foster existing nuclear generation are being challenged in the courts for potentially infringing on FERC’s wholesale market jurisdiction. 2017 could prove to be the year when state policy priorities began to elbow aside voluntary regional market constructs.
Vogtle Tour
Picture Energy
PUF toured the Vogtle 3 - 4 nuclear power construction site near Augusta GA on March 1, 2017. At four times the size of New York's Central Park, this place is huge.
Toshiba Exit Transforms Nuclear Market
Maybe a U.S. Nuclear Revival
Toshiba recently announced that financial write-offs related to its troubled nuclear division, Westinghouse Electric, would total about $6.2 billion dollars.
