Support nuclear energy

As one of the world’s largest sources of carbon-free energy, nuclear energy has a critical role to play in decarbonizing the global energy system. Accelerating advanced nuclear energy and preserving existing nuclear energy generation is key to meeting our climate goals.

CATF supports the creation of a functional and global R&D, commercial, regulatory, and social environment in which nuclear energy can make a significant contribution to managing climate change and advanced technologies can be realized and deployed to market. We support policies to accelerate advanced nuclear energy and to preserve existing nuclear power plants.

Nuclear energy has the potential to be a key driver in the transition to a clean energy economy over the coming decades. With the targeted support built into the Inflation Reduction Act, American nuclear energy companies will be much more empowered to achieve that potential. The nuclear-specific and technology-neutral tax credits in the bill recognize the value nuclear energy provides to a clean and resilient electrical grid
