Nuclear power is a critical capability to address a National Energy Emergency. The advancement and expansion of nuclear power can provide the reliable and resilient energy needed to drive the digital technology revolution and to enable a growing manufacturing economy.
The immediate restoration, development, and deployment of our Nation’s nuclear energy infrastructure called for in these Executive Orders fulfills an immediate and pressing priority for the protection of the United States’ national and economic security.
Nuclear energy can be employed to stabilize the domestic electric power grid, power a wide array of thermally intense industrial processes, augment capabilities for space, undersea, and remote operations, and play a key role in our national defense architecture.
These actions, among the many others in these Executive Orders, will reestablish the U.S. as the dominant provider of nuclear technology to the global market, countering the pernicious influence of geopolitical competitors such as Russia and China, all while creating tens of thousands of high-paying jobs and supporting a booming American economy.
UCAN Power is eager to continue working with the administration, Congress, industry, and other stakeholders to support these directives and restore U.S. nuclear energy dominance.
UCAN Power is a non-profit organization established in 2021 to advocate for the accelerated use of advanced nuclear technologies including small/micro reactors to meet global electricity demands, space energy and propulsion requirements, National security objectives, carbon reduction goals, and safety standards for government and commercial applications.
