The Nuclear Production Tax Credit: a Must-Pass

The nuclear power industry has come under sustained economic threat that undermines the dominant leadership position once held by the United States. Domestic nuclear infrastructure and the educational base that supports it directly contribute to our national security, especially in the field of nuclear weapons proliferation, and are increasingly left out of plans to expand the nation’s power base with a reliable and long-term clean energy source.

Like other sources of energy, the pending extension of the nuclear production tax credit must be passed to send the unmistakable signal for the vitality of the nuclear industry and our security.
