국가가 새로운 원자력 에너지를 지원하기 위한 정책 옵션 (Policy Options for States to Support New Nuclear Energy)
본 보고서는 청정 에너지 시스템으로 전환하고 있는 시점에서, 첨단 원자력 기술의 개발 및 상업화를 위해 요구되는 정책들을 제시합니다.
The transition to a clean energy system depends on nuclear carbon-free energy, both the existing fleet and innovative advanced nuclear technology. New reactor designs will pair with wind and solar generation as well as new battery storage technology to achieve state and federal carbon reduction goals. Recent studies, including an NEI survey of its 19 utility members, found that hundreds of new advanced reactors are needed in the next 25 years to maintain a reliable, affordable and clean energy system.
Governors, legislators, and regulators will play a critical role in shaping policies that enhance the development and commercial deployment of these technologies. This document identifies policy tools already in use or being considered by state decisionmakers to achieve energy, environmental, climate, job creation and energy security goals by supporting the deployment of advanced nuclear technologies. These policy options are grouped by:
1. Utilizing nuclear energy to achieve broad policy goals.
2. Support for the deployment of advanced reactors.
3. Understanding the benefits of nuclear energy.
