ASME Congressional Briefing: Deploying Advanced Nuclear Technologies at Scale

ASME Congressional Briefing: Deploying Advanced Nuclear Technologies at Scale

Nuclear power has provided the United States and the world with a clean, reliable, and affordable source of electricity for the last half century. Last year, nuclear power generated over 770 million MWh, providing 19% of total U.S. electricity generation and about half of all clean energy generation. Recent bipartisan support for nuclear energy research, development, and deployment has spurred dozens of companies to move ahead with their first-of-a-kind, smaller, and easier to site and construct nuclear power plants in North America and abroad. More recently, the role of nuclear energy for energy security has been highlighted – emphasizing the need for these new technologies to be available even sooner.
 
On March 28, ASME will hold a congressional briefing on deploying advanced nuclear technologies at scale. This virtual Congressional briefing will feature experts from the U.S. nuclear energy sector on the roadmap for advanced nuclear technology development and deployment, including a discussion of nuclear energy’s impacts on global clean energy, decarbonization, and energy security goals.
