In this joint webinar hosted by the Global America Business Institute, Nuclear Innovation Alliance, Good Energy Collective, and Atlantic Council, watch Judi Greenwald (NIA), Jackie Toth (GEC), and Jennifer Gordon (AC) speak about the current status of the Versatile Test Reactor and why it is important to continue funding this project. The panel was moderated by Bryan Cheong (GABI).

NIA public comment on the Preliminary Proposed Rule Language for 10 CFR 53, “Risk-Informed, Technology-Inclusive Regulatory Framework for Advanced Reactors”. (Comment ID: NRC-2019-0062-0168)

This letter to DOE from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation includes implementation recommendations for the newly established Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations. This letter was developed in collaboration with several stakeholders, including NIA. 

This joint letter, cosigned by NIA, expresses support for creating the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) within DOE, and contains eight suggested management principles for OCED.

This Brief serves as an introduction to advanced nuclear energy technologies and policies for state-level policymakers and stakeholders. The first part of this Brief describes advanced reactor technology and its benefits, provides an overview of enabling federal policies, and reviews state options to incentivize local development of advanced reactors. The second part of the Brief provides case studies of emerging state leaders in these technologies:     

• The Natrium project in Wyoming;    
• Energy Northwest’s plans in Washington state;    
• Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems’ consortium for the first light water small modular reactor, and;    
• the Nuclear Alternative Project in Puerto Rico. 

Finally, the last section of this Brief is a compendium of topical briefs that elaborate the characteristics of advanced reactors with respect to safety, economic benefits, waste remediation, the flexibility and dispatchability of advanced nuclear power, and its timing and development.

This case study focuses on the Natrium project and its plan to re-power coal communities in Wyoming. This document is a part of  Advanced Reactors for State Policymakers, In Brief  published by the NIA in October 2021.

This case study focuses on the Tri Energy Partnership between X-energy, Grant PUD, and Energy Northwest in their quest to build and operate a nuclear power plant and TRISO fuel facility in Washington.
