NRC looks to leverage previous approvals for large LWRs
During this time of resurging interest in nuclear power, many conversations have centered on one fundamental problem: Electricity is needed now, but nuclear projects (in recent decades) have taken many years to get permitted and built.
In the past few years, a bevy of new strategies have been pursued to fix this problem. Workforce programs that seek to laterally transition skilled people from other industries, plans to reuse the transmission infrastructure at shuttered coal sites, efforts to restart plants like Palisades or Duane Arnold, new reactor designs that build on the legacy of research done in the early days of atomic power—all of these plans share a common throughline: leveraging work already done instead of starting over from square one to get new plants designed and built.

Ukraine’s power grid is under attack. Russian airstrikes have destroyed over nine gigawatts of capacity, leaving the country with only a third of the power needed to meet peak power demands year-round.
Give to the ANS-ENS Ukrainian Nuclear Workers Humanitarian Fund and help Ukraine’s nuclear communities in need across the country, from satellite cities that host nuclear power plants to communities that host specialized higher education institutions and nuclear research facilities.
In partnership with the European Nuclear Society (ENS), all donations go directly to the Ukrainian Nuclear Society for the purchase and distribution of essential medical supplies, personal protective equipment, batteries, flashlights, warm clothes, food, and other items.
ANS and the European Nuclear Society (ENS) were among the first organizations to actively support UkrNS in its humanitarian efforts. Within days of the invasion, the transatlantic nuclear community formed the ANS-ENS Ukrainian Nuclear Workers Humanitarian Fund to help our Ukrainian colleagues in need.
All donations continue to go directly to UkrNS for essential medical supplies, personal protective equipment, batteries, flashlights, warm clothes, food, and other items.
With your help, about six tons of humanitarian aid purchased and delivered since the beginning of the war. Since 2022, we've delivered:
