History

Historical Context

The Nuclear Energy Policy Act of 1992 aimed to rejuvenate the U.S. nuclear industry, which had stagnated since the late 1980s due to public fear following incidents like Chernobyl. Subsequent legislation, including the Energy Policy Act of 2005, provided significant incentives for nuclear expansion. Today, companies like Constellation Energy are investing billions to align with clean energy goals amid rising demand from tech giants.
