Nuclear energy presently makes up under 20% of electricity generation in the United States. Contrary to some viewpoints, nuclear power will play a vital role in America's expanding clean energy sector by delivering consistent, carbon-free electricity to complement renewable sources. Washington State University stands at the forefront of nuclear research in the western region, operating both an electricity-generating reactor and a DOE national laboratory in Richland, WA. Due to its closeness to the Hanford facility, Eastern Washington has also historically pioneered nuclear waste cleanup efforts. For nuclear energy to flourish nationally, maintaining public confidence in safe management throughout the entire nuclear process—from plant operations to waste disposal—remains crucial.
