DOE Releases Community Guide on Coal-to-Nuclear Conversion

Out with the coal, in with nuclear! The US Department of Energy released an information guide for communities who may be considering transitioning from coal plants to nuclear. By 2035, almost 30% of coal plants in the US are projected to retire and pivot towards nuclear plants.

A major concern for these communities are the economic factors and how ushering in the nuclear plants will help or hurt the their economy and the environment where they live. The report that was released states that replacing a coal plant with nuclear would create more jobs, employing more people. It would also increase total income, revenue, power plant operators and local suppliers in these communities. Those who currently work in coal plants who have helped our energy system throughout the years would have the opportunity, support for training and resources to be able to make the switch into nuclear energy plants.

In the future, you’ll begin to see retired and operating coal plants as potential candidates for a C2N transition.
