The Civil Nuclear Credit Program: An overview
Officially established on November 15, 2021, with the signing of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act—aka the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, or BIL—the Department of Energy’s Civil Nuclear Credit Program was designed to give owners/operators of commercial U.S. reactors the opportunity to apply for certification and competitively bid on credits to help support the continued operation of economically troubled units. Finally, the federal government, and not just certain farsighted state governments, would recognize nuclear energy for its important grid reliability and decarbonization attributes.
The American Nuclear Society is a professional organization for those that embrace the nuclear sciences and technologies for their vital contributions to improving people’s lives and preserving the planet. Its more than 10,000 members come from all walks of life, including engineers, doctors, students, educators, scientists, soldiers, advocates, suppliers, government employees, and others. Members of the American Nuclear Society benefit from collaboration, exchanging insights, and exploring possibilities within the realm of nuclear science and technology. Become a part of this dynamic and growing community and help us shape the future of nuclear.
