U.S. Nuclear Power Plants: Clean Energy Assets at Risk

December 14, 2021|12:00–1:00PM (1:00–2:00PM EST)

Available to All Users

In the last decade, almost a dozen U.S. nuclear power plants have prematurely retired. As clean energy commitments expand globally and nationally, the value of existing nuclear power plants and the numerous closures seem diametrically opposed. An expert panel offered diverse perspectives on recent successes and what challenges the nuclear industry faces next in the ongoing fight to preserve the existing fleet of plants in the U.S.
