Nuclear Industry Can Light the Way to Energy Security

Anthony R. Pietrangelo is senior vice president and chief nuclear officer of the Nuclear Energy Institute.
The United States and nations around the world should expand the use of nuclear energy. It is a low-carbon energy technology that has proven its ability to reliably and affordably provide large amounts of baseload electricity virtually around the clock. Because reliable, affordable electricity supplies are the backbone of a growing economy, nuclear energy is vital to any nation's ability improve its standard of living, to create jobs, to have power for heating and cooling systems, and to enhance energy security.
