NEI Testimony to House Science Committee

NEI Testimony to House Science Committee
NEI submitted this testimony to the House Science Committee's Subcommittee on Energy for its hearing on December 11, 2014, on "The Future of Nuclear Energy."  NEI thanks the House Science Committee for its interest in nuclear energy and in addressing the policies that can facilitate deployment of advanced reactors to meet national energy needs and reduce carbon emissions. The testimony covers five major areas:  (1) the current status of the U.S. nuclear power industry and the value proposition for nuclear energy; (2) the potential domestic market and our conviction that nuclear energy will be a major part of the future U.S. supply portfolio; (3) the global nuclear market and U.S. influence; (4) the potential for Small Modular Reactors and Generation IV designs, and (5) the absolute necessity of effective government-industry cooperation to address financing and regulatory challenges. http://www.nei.org/Master-Document-Folder/Federal,-State-Local-Resources/Testimony/NEI-Testimony-to-House-Science-Committee
