White House Summit on Nuclear Energy

Big news for nuclear energy supporters!
Tomorrow, the White House is hosting a forum, highlighting the Administration’s commitment to nuclear energy as a clean energy and climate mitigation solution.  It will explore the need for maintaining U.S. leadership in nuclear energy to realize economic competitiveness, national security and nonproliferation objectives. It will also feature innovators who are developing new and advanced nuclear energy systems and showcase the next generation of young scientists and engineers who are working to build the future of nuclear energy.
"I think what's important about this White House meeting is that, in a sense, it's a 'coming out' meeting. Here we have an administration that is making it clear that nuclear energy is important in the fight against climate change and that some of the new nuclear technologies will be energy sources for the future."

-Eileen Claussen, Former Assistant Secretary of State and nuclear energy supporter
