Please join us for an expert discussion of the key challenges facing nuclear power in the United States and policy options to maintain U.S. global leadership in nuclear energy.  During the past year, CSIS, the Bipartisan Policy Center, and Third Way, together with INL, have independently undertaken bipartisan studies of nuclear energy policy.  This event will highlight the recommendations of the Third Way and Idaho National Lab New Millennium Nuclear Energy Partnership, discuss the findings of the BPC Nuclear Initiative, and explore the ongoing work of the CSIS Commission on Nuclear Energy Policy.
