This brief summary presents the impact of the Department of Energy’s Loan Program Office (LPO) in the context of nuclear commercialization. By strategically funding projects such as the Vogtle plant project and the Holtec-Palisades nuclear restart, the LPO funding helps bridge early-stage funding gaps and catalyzes private investment. The summary discusses how the LPO's strategic financing model leverages limited federal appropriations to advance nuclear energy development and improve national and energy security.

In today’s episode of the USEA Power Sector Podcast series on power sector leaders, Nuclear Innovation Alliance President and CEO Judi Greenwald answered questions from journalist Herman K. Trabish about what the Alliance is, what it does, what it has accomplished, and what its current priorities are in support of new nuclear technologies.
This fact sheet presents a comprehensive, information-dense summary of every directive contained in these EOs to show what new programs, initiatives, and regulatory changes are included. It also cites the specific section of each executive order from which every directive originates. The goal of this fact sheet is to answer the questions: “What do these EOs actually do?”, “Which federal agencies are responsible for what”, and “When are specific actions scheduled to take place?”
NIA and Team Pennsylvania collaborated to produce a paper that outlines different scenarios for powering data centers in Pennsylvania. The paper highlights the need for clean, firm power as a solution to power data centers and concludes that nuclear energy should be a cornerstone of Pennsylvania's energy future.
The Nuclear Innovation Alliance (NIA) is a non-profit think-and-do-tank working to enable nuclear power as a global solution to mitigate climate change. Through policy analysis, research, and education, we are catalyzing the next era of nuclear energy. Our organization is funded primarily through charitable grants and philanthropic donations from climate-concerned individuals and organizations.
Team Pennsylvania (TeamPA) is a dynamic non-profit that accelerates Pennsylvania’s economic competitiveness and is co-chaired by the Governor and a private sector leader. As a trusted and neutral organization since our founding in 1997, TeamPA convenes business leaders and policymakers to collaboratively tackle challenges and pursue opportunities to effect long term change for Pennsylvania. TeamPA focus on issues that no one sector can tackle alone, zeroing in on high-growth economic opportunities in the energy, agriculture, manufacturing, life sciences, and innovation and technology, maximizing impact for the commonwealth while creating equity and economic opportunity for all Pennsylvanians.
On May 28th, PBS NewsHours story on nuclear energy featured comments from NIA's Judi Greenwald.
After World War II, nuclear power was heralded as the future of energy. Then the partial meltdown at Three Mile Island in 1979 marked a turning point and solidified opposition. In two decades, a dozen U.S. reactors have closed and only three have come online. But the site of America’s worst nuclear accident may now be the site of its rebirth. William Brangham reports for the series, Tipping Point.
On May 21, NIA's President and CEO Judi Greenwald participated in a panel titled "The Future of Regulatory Modernization," alongside Peter Hastings, Kairos Power, David Mannai, PSEG and Moderator Jennifer Uhle, Nuclear Energy Institute, at the annual Nuclear Energy Policy Forum hosted by the Nuclear Energy Institute.
It’s been nearly a year since the ADVANCE Act was signed into law. Hear more about how it’s being implemented through engagement with industry, elected officials and the NRC and about the path forward for regulatory modernization.
NIA submitted a response to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Request for Information on artificial intelligence (AI) on DOE lands. By leveraging its land assets, the DOE could accelerate new nuclear technology commercialization to meet the growing demand for AI infrastructure and have lasting impacts on U.S. AI leadership and energy security.
