Support Nuclear Energy!

Nuclear energy matters. It plays a vital role in meeting our nation’s electricity needs, protecting the environment, preserving fuel and technology diversity, and enhancing the nuclear science, technology, and medical fields, along with other applications. Nuclear plants produce electricity 24 hours a day, seven days a week with zero carbon emissions and provide important diversity to our nation’s fuel mix.

And that’s just the start. Next-generation nuclear technology offers a variety of additional benefits, including enhanced versatility, deployment in remote locations and more. To reach our nation’s net-zero future, new nuclear reactors must be a part of the solution, and we need your help in making that happen.

We must promote the benefits of nuclear technology to implement policies that support building new nuclear energy facilities. We need people like you to talk to your legislators and help us advocate for the benefits that advanced nuclear energy brings to our communities.

Most legislator offices require some information from you to properly receive a letter, so use the form on this page to fill in your name and contact information. After you submit your letter, share this link with your friends and family to encourage them to do the same. Thank you for your support!

Support America's nuclear power plants

Dear Official,

Nuclear power plants produce electricity 24 hours a day, seven days a week, produce zero carbon emissions and provide important diversity to our nation’s fuel mix. Not to mention the role they play in keeping the grid reliable.

On top of environmental benefits, nuclear plants provide hundreds of thousands of jobs and contribute more than $60 billion to our national GDP.

Compared to other non-emitting sources, nuclear energy facilities are relatively compact. The amount of electricity produced by a multi-reactor nuclear power plant would require about 45 square miles of photovoltaic solar panels or about 260 square miles of wind turbines.

And that’s just the start. Next-generation nuclear technology offers a variety of additional benefits, including enhanced versatility, deployment in remote locations, diverse applications beyond electricity generation and more. To reach our nation’s net-zero future, new nuclear reactors must be a part of the solution. As your constituent, I urge you to support policies that promote nuclear energy innovation for this existing and new nuclear deployment.

We need our elected officials to support solutions that recognize the full value and potential of nuclear power, advanced reactors and the safer, more reliable, carbon-free energy future they can provide our communities.

Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

Regards, Your Name

Thank you for supporting America's nuclear plants! Now tell your friends and family to do the same by asking them to join Nuclear Matters.

Here are some of the things you should tell your elected officials when you call them:

Nuclear plants churn out electricity 24 hours a day, seven days a week and produce zero carbon emissions.
Davis-Besse Power Station in Oak Harbor, and the Perry Nuclear Power Plant in Perry, provide 11 percent of the electricity used in Ohio – enough to power more than 2.8 million homes.
They have an onsite fuel supply that doesn’t require a transportation network for daily fuel delivery.
But we need your help to help protect our nuclear energy plants.
Please support legislation this year to help enact the Zero Emission Nuclear Resource Program (ZEN).
This program will be critical to ensuring our nuclear power plants continue contributing to our economy and powering our homes.
