MISSION
The Council seeks the return of American nuclear leadership to the world through the emergence of an U.S.-led global nuclear enterprise. The Council educates key audiences on the policies and technologies of the American nuclear industry and summons public and private sector leadership to organize and promote such a transformation.
OVERVIEW
The Council alerts and educates Americans on the decline of the U.S. in nuclear reactor design, manufacture, and supply and of the opportunities for the U.S. to restore its position as a global leader in the nuclear energy industry. The Council:
- Encourages and supports nuclear initiatives benefiting U.S. national security and the economy;
- Educates elected officials, policy-makers, media and the public on the policy and technology aspects of an American nuclear renaissance; and
- Summons private sector leadership to organize and promote such a transformation.
The Council supports bold energy policies and U.S.-led initiatives that will contribute to the growth of the U.S. nuclear industry, such as the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership and the American Competitiveness Initiative.
The Council believes in innovation and initiatives that support a major leap into a new generation of proliferation-resistant, inherently safe nuclear reactors that could be provided to the world’s aspiring, less-developed countries.
Innovative new reactor designs, hold the solution to lost technological leadership; the migration of manufacturing and technical jobs overseas; the decline in U.S. leadership in non-proliferation; the nuclear waste problem facing U.S. utilities; the lack of reliable, affordable, non-polluting energy; the challenge of finding technology solutions to global warming; and the discovery of the energy foundations for economic growth and prosperity for developing countries.
