At present, dialogue on nuclear technology in Washington, DC has tended to focus on issues related to nuclear materials security, nonproliferation, and arms control issues, rather than nuclear power. As a result, the policy community in Washington tends view nuclear power technologies with some skepticism. Given this environment, it is GABI’s commitment to promote, educate, and enhance the understanding of the vital role of nuclear power from the perspective of ensuring energy security, reliability and sustainability.

U.S. Nuclear Decommissioning Industry: History Prospects, and Global Business Strategy

By |2018-01-30T21:07:10-05:00January 26th, 2018|Categories: Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Energy Workshops|0 Comments

The U.S. possesses more than half of the world’s nuclear plant decommissioning experience. Although decommissioning has traditionally been viewed in a negative light, it is increasingly being perceived as a part of the natural life cycle of commercial units. Demonstration of efficient and cost-effective decommissioning boosts public confidence in nuclear and opens the door for

The DOE Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) for consideration and final action by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission seeks to "protect the American people from the threat of energy outages that could result from the loss of traditional baseload capacity." To that end, the NOPR proposes greater valuation of the reliability and resiliency benefits provided

Canada’s Approach to Long-Term Management of Used Nuclear Fuel

By |2018-01-30T11:48:00-05:00October 25th, 2017|Categories: Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Energy Workshops|0 Comments

October 25, 2017 To address the concerns of the growing issue of used nuclear fuel in Canada, the Canadian federal government established the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) under the Nuclear Fuel Waste Act of 2002. NWMO is investigating the option of a deep geological repository for the long-term storage of Canada's used nuclear fuel.

Opportunities for U.S.-Korea Cooperation in Advanced Nuclear: Industrial, R&D, and Other Collaboration

By |2022-01-04T13:37:10-05:00October 23rd, 2017|Categories: Congressional Briefing, Nuclear Energy|0 Comments

The U.S. and the Republic of Korea have had a long history of nuclear energy cooperation, dating back to when the U.S. built Korea's first commercial reactors in 1978. This relationship has evolved over the decades, and Korea has more recently emerged as one of the world's major suppliers of nuclear power technologies. With growing interest

October 16, 2017 The rationale for an extensive federal role in energy innovation, particularly with respect to clean energy sources such as nuclear and renewables, largely stems from the premise that there are insufficient market incentives for long-term clean energy R&D investments by industry and the private sector overall. Clean energy innovation policy is further

Achieving progress towards decarbonizing and reducing the environmental impact of energy generation is arguably impossible without a significant expansion of nuclear p...ower internationally. However, improving and strengthening the global nuclear governance system and maintaining high international standards in nuclear safety, security, and nonproliferation are essential for nuclear power to become a more integral part of

Introducing Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Nuclear Safety

By |2018-01-30T11:58:12-05:00July 27th, 2017|Categories: Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Energy Workshops|0 Comments

Conventional prescriptive regulatory approaches to nuclear safety, while effective in managing the current light-water reactor fleet, fail to adequately regard and consider the innovative capabilities of next-generation advanced reactor designs. Adoption of a risk-informed, performance-based framework to nuclear regulatory activities, as opposed to adherence to traditional regulatory paradigms, may be a critical step towards unleashing

Although nuclear power plant construction continues at an active pace worldwide, Westinghouse's declaration of bankruptcy is perhaps the latest indicator of the health of the U.S. nuclear industry and its considerable challenges. While China and Russia maintain vigorous new build programs both domestically and internationally, current reactor construction projects in the U.S. have suddenly been

The Domestic and International Imperatives of Nuclear Energy Innovation

By |2018-01-30T12:04:12-05:00June 23rd, 2017|Categories: Nuclear Energy, Nuclear Energy Workshops|0 Comments

June 23, 2017 Nuclear power plays an indispensable role in limiting, or perhaps even reducing, the costs of transitioning towards a clean, low-emissions energy system. Without nuclear, achieving zero or reduced emissions in the energy sector becomes more costly. Moreover, the cost efficiency potential of advanced nuclear designs may actually reduce the costs of power
