Advanced nuclear energy can be a key ingredient in 21st century decarbonization. It can help the United States and high emitting countries meet their 2050 climate goals while also sustainably powering emerging economies alongside other clean energy sources. In order for advanced nuclear to play this role, private industries and governments must work together to research, develop, and manage new technologies while improving upon the past. Industry, academia, government laboratories, public-private partnerships, and independent nuclear safety regulators create a complementary innovation ecosystem. Nuclear energy provides over half of the United States’ clean electricity. The U.S. Navy has used nuclear propulsion for decades but commercial maritime use has been limited. Meanwhile, radioisotope power systems powered the Apollo, Voyager, Mars, and New Horizons missions. Nuclear energy is used in non-electric applications as well, including to produce heat for residential, commercial, and in
