Nuclear Energy Innovation
Enabling the large-scale deployment of nuclear energy
Advanced nuclear technologies promise clean, reliable power with strong safety profiles and increasing benefits for energy security, climate, and economic development. But realizing these benefits requires a regulatory system that is equipped to license modern technologies at scale, and overcoming commercial hurdles. The Nuclear Energy Innovation team develops solutions for appropriate regulation and oversight of nuclear reactors to enable the new and continued use of safe and clean nuclear energy.
