Mention “nuclear power” and attention almost immediately turns to safety. Despite huge advances in nuclear technology in recent decades, everyone still thinks about the accidents that occurred at older reactors like Chernobyl , Three Mile Island or Fukushima. Some have nuclear but are phasing it out.

We believe we must take a science-based approach and prioritize policies and technologies that enable us to liberate nature and elevate humanity. The Regulation requires the use of “best” technologies and standards for existing and future nuclear energy applications as opposed to accepted and appropriate technologies and standards.
