- Providing a clearer timeline, economic outlook and educational
resources for communities considering whether and how to support advanced nuclear energy projects.
- Engaging communities on key issues such as siting, regulation, investment, workforce development, safety, and potential environmental and equity impacts of nuclear energy projects.
- Sharing lessons learned from nuclear energy activities in the U.S. and abroad.
- Matching potential host communities with nuclear energy developers, utilities and the right projects
