Nuclear energy has prevented about 1.8 million deaths since 1970 due to reduced air pollution; estimates show that shutting down a single nuclear plant can result in 5,000 additional deaths every year as a result of increased air pollution.
Nuclear plants are typically located in rural areas, supporting the development of vibrant communities and contributing to the local economy for decades.
The cheap, abundant and low carbon electricity generated by nuclear energy will electrify and decarbonize transportation, including electric vehicles, railways and urban mass transit systems.
