A new report commissioned by the Nuclear Scaling Initiative, conducted by energy consultant Solestiss, and funded by the Bezos Earth Fund identifies and recommends solutions to overcome current bottlenecks in the supply chain for advanced reactors.

Broadly speaking, the report recommends the repeated deployment of Gen III+ reactor designs to rebuild the foundation of domestic manufacturing, workforce, and qualification capacity.

A recent $3.5 million philanthropic commitment from the Bezos Earth Fund to the Nuclear Scaling Initiative has put a spotlight on the organization. As the NSI enters its third year with a new cash infusion, now is the perfect time to explore its history, mission, and progress so far.

Brazilian model, nuclear advocate, and philanthropist Isabelle Boemeke, who the online TED lecture series describes as “the world’s first nuclear energy influencer,” was the subject of a recent New York Times article that explored her ardent support for and advocacy of nuclear technology.
