Nuclear is ready now
Michael Goff
I don’t think we’ve ever had a busier year in the Office of Nuclear Energy, and it’s probably been decades since we’ve had this much momentum within the overall U.S. nuclear industry.
President Trump and Energy Secretary Wright have made very clear the important role that nuclear must play in meeting our energy needs, and that’s well demonstrated by the four executive orders that the president signed [more than] 375 days ago. In nuclear, we’re now talking about days, not years.
Those EOs set a goal for the United States to quadruple the amount of nuclear that we have. We need to go from the 94 reactors that we have operating right now, which generate roughly 100 gigawatts of electricity, to 400 gigawatts by 2050.
YMG Professional Division Series

Available to All Users
Join us for the third installment our new ANS Young Members Group Spotlight on Divisions webinar series featuring the Fuel Cycle and Waste Management Division.
The new series was designed to introduce students and young members to ANS Professional Divisions and help them build connections within the Society. Through Division-focused sessions, attendees will learn about current priorities, emerging trends, and important technical topics, while also gaining clear points of contact for questions and future involvement. The series will also highlight Division liaisons and their role in outreach and coordination, and, as time allows, provide insight into how technical divisions are organized and led.
