Feinstein Institutes to research novel radiation countermeasure
The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, home of the research institutes of New York’s Northwell Health, announced it has received a five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to investigate the potential of human ghrelin, a naturally occurring hormone, as a medical countermeasure against radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (GI-ARS).

Nuclear energy supplies nearly 20 percent of all our domestic electricity generation, and more than 55 percent of carbon-free generation. Nuclear power plants supply the baseload, always-available emissions-free electricity, while providing significant benefits to regional economies. This presentation will focus on the economics and policy of nuclear power, for both electricity and non-electricity needs. Discussion will revolve around various revenue models for current and future nuclear plants, including regulated and wholesale markets, and opportunities for current and next-generational nuclear to thrive in a future powered by clean energy. Panelists will discuss economics beyond electricity needs, such as first responder power, hydrogen production, and process heat for industrial purposes. Panelists will also highlight opportunities to engage and learn more about nuclear economics.
