This is a crucial time for nuclear energy.

The nation’s fleet of reactors dwindled to 95 in April 2020 with the loss of Indian Point Unit 2 outside New York City.

Since 2013, 10 nuclear units have shut down prematurely with seven currently scheduled for early retirement.

If this trend continues, we could lose more than 10% of the nation’s nuclear capacity within the next decade.

That’s a big deal considering nuclear produces nearly 20% of America’s power and 55% of its clean energy.
