Most Countries have Reaffirmed their
Commitment to Nuclear Energy
Strong, bi-partisan political support in the United States
 Reiterated safety of fleet and the opportunity to further
improve strong safety record
 Support continuation of the loan guarantee program
 Most utilities remain committed to new build plans
Reactions in UK, Czech Republic, Poland, Finland and The
Netherlands
 Nuclear energy plays a vital role
Conduct safety checks of installed base
Some delay in new build programs possible, but no plans
to abandon new nuclear or stop construction
China
 Temporary suspension of approval of new plants; Safety
review underway
India confirmed that nuclear would continue
South Korea reviewing existing plants

Strengthening Virginia’s Leadership
Role in Clean Energy
Many challenges inhibiting the development and deployment
of clean energy technologies are national
 Inconsistent and frequently changing policies, financial incentives, and
regulations
Virginia can help
 Consistent, reasonable, and transparent regulatory policies
 Encourage national policy-makers to invest in infrastructure
 Reward investment
 Invest in people
Building today means energy and economic security
tomorrow
