Nuclear energy is a carbon-free energy source that brings resilience and reliability to our nation’s electric grid. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy works with industry and other stakeholders to extend the life cycles of our current fleet of reactors and to develop new technologies that will help meet future environmental and energy goals.
