Policy
Effective policy strategies are essential for responsible nuclear deployment. Our policy work builds directly from our research foundation, connecting objective analysis with practical recommendations through strategic engagement at federal and state levels. We translate research insights into clear guidance for decision-makers across the spectrum of deployment challenges - from regulatory modernization and financing solutions to grid integration and community engagement approaches.
We advance this work through targeted policy briefs, direct engagement with legislative offices, and participation in key policy discussions. Our team provides independent analysis to help policymakers understand both challenges and opportunities in nuclear deployment. As we grow, we are developing channels to convene stakeholders and organize expert dialogues around specific deployment barriers. This focused approach helps ensure that policies for nuclear energy are grounded in evidence while reflecting implementation realities.

Issue Brief Update: Economic Impact of Senate Finance Committee Text—45Y Restrictions on Nuclear Energy Projects
Congress is deliberating significant changes to key federal tax credits for clean energy deployment, including nuclear power, within the ongoing budget reconciliation process. While our analysis of H.R.1 found the House version would generate $11 billion to $19 billion in economic losses, the Senate’s modifications substantially mitigate but do not eliminate these risks.

Policy Impact Report: Economic Impact of H.R.1 Tax Credit Restrictions on Nuclear Energy Projects
In this detailed analysis, we evaluate H.R.1's impact on nuclear project economics using data from 15 real-world projects across 10 states. Our analysis shows the restrictions eliminate far more economic value than they save while preventing achievement of the United States’ nuclear deployment and energy security goals.
