ARLINGTON, Va. — Today, United States Nuclear Industry Council (USNIC) President and CEO, Todd Abrajano, penned an op-ed for The Hill, making the case that nuclear energy is once again bankable, as markets respond to growing power demand, private-sector confidence, and federal support.

"In a few years, we have gone from seeing well-run nuclear plants closing prematurely to restarting those reactors while simultaneously developing new reactor projects — featuring both large and small designs. Until recently, investors shunned nuclear," Abrajano wrote. "Today, the business outlook for nuclear is perhaps brighter than ever. Changing market dynamics—combined with renewed support from policymakers in the United States and abroad—have given investors compelling new reasons to say “yes” to new nuclear. Gone are the days in which governments alone financed and brokered new nuclear projects."
