Nuclear Energy Comes Full Circle In Idaho

摘要

In the November/December issue of Nuclear Energy Insight, Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham celebrated the contribution nuclear energy has made in improving our quality of life. He wrote of how abundant, affordable nuclear energy has helped meet our energy needs while protecting our environment. He also highlighted the administration's vision of a hydrogen-based energy economy, which will drive the need for technologies, such as nuclear energy, that can produce hydrogen cleanly and efficiently. The secretary's message was clear: Nuclear energy must remain a significant part of our energy mix. Nuclear energy research budgets have risen considerably over the past few years, reflecting a renewed commitment to nuclear energy in both the administration and Congress.
