The Nuclear Energy Institute’s (NEI) “Delivering the Nuclear Promise” initiative was launched in December 2015 with the goal of increasing efficiency across the nuclear industry in order to ensure its long-term viability. With more than a year of evidence, it’s clear the initiative is working.
According to a February speech from NEI President Maria Korsnick, the program’s efforts identified $650 million in potential savings that could be realized through new programs and processes in 2016. Additionally, people from across the industry collaborated to produce 46 efficiency bulletins which outline efficiency improvements across all aspects of nuclear plant operations. Korsnick said that 95 percent of those recommendations are being implemented across the industry.
