1.Secretary of Energy Advisory Board, Moving Forward With Nuclear Power: Issues and Key Factors, Final Report, January 10, 2005
In this report, based on information from government officials, trade and environmental organizations, new nuclear generation consortia, and vendors, the SEAB recommends financial incentives for new nuclear plant construction "because it is in the national interest to ensure our energy security and reap the environmental benefit arising from the absence of carbon emissions by nuclear power generation."

2.Tennessee Valley Authority, ABWR Cost/Schedule/COL Project at TVA's Bellefonte Site: New Nuclear Plant Licensing Demonstration Project, August 2005
The full report of the TVA consortium's study on the feasibility of constructing new nuclear plants at the Bellefonte site.

3.World Nuclear Association, The New Economics of Nuclear Power, December 2005
This WNA report distills recent independent studies and concludes that "the case for nuclear energy is now solid on economics alone," and that "new nuclear power plants offer the most economical way to generate baseload electricity." The report noted that "Governments are turning increasingly to nuclear power to achieve national goals of price stability and energy security and global goals of environmental preservation through reduced carbon emissions."

5.U.S. House of Representatives, Securing America's Energy Future, May 8, 2006
“Nuclear energy must become the primary generator of baseload electricity, thereby relieving the pressure on natural gas prices and dramatically improving atmospheric emissions. To enhance competitiveness and protect American jobs, natural gas must not be used for baseload electricity generation, nor for new generating capacity. Natural gas should be reserved for industries that use it as a feedstock or for primary energy—and cannot substitute for it by fuel-switching.”—Committee on Government Reform, Subcommittee on Energy and Natural Resources

6.The Economic Future of Nuclear Power: A Study Conducted at The University of Chicago, August 2004 (Summary)
This independent study demonstrates that new nuclear power plants are competitive with other types of baseload electricity generation once first-of-a-kind engineering costs are absorbed, construction experience gained, and other near-term financing issues resolved. Read the full study

7.U.S. Department of Energy, Highway and Railway Accident Study
In 2002, the U.S. Department of Energy and its Sandia National Laboratories studied twelve highway and railway accidents suggested by the state of Nevada as potentially severe enough to compromise the integrity of used nuclear fuel transportation containers, had they been involved in the accidents. After careful analysis, DOE and Sandia found that, in fact, in all cases used nuclear fuel containers would have remained intact and that none of these accidents would have resulted in a release of radiation.

8.U.S. Public Opinion About Nuclear Energy, October 2006
"Various polls in 2006 show high support for new nuclear power plants. News media polling organizations’ interest in asking about new nuclear power plants reflects growing focus on energy, nuclear energy benefits, and the nuclear renaissance."

9.U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Spent Fuel Transportation Cask Response to a Tunnel Fire Scenario (Baltimore Tunnel Fire Study)
In July 2001, a derailed train carrying hazardous materials caught fire in a railroad tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland, and burned for several days. Although an accidental fire of such duration during a used nuclear fuel shipment is unlikely, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission analyzed the performance of transportation containers under these conditions. The NRC "concluded that the transportation casks analyzed would withstand a fire with thermal conditions similar to those that existed in the Baltimore tunnel fire event. No release of radioactive materials would result from exposure of the casks analyzed to such an event." A preliminary version of the study was released in 2002; this final version was completed in August 2004.

10.The Power to Reduce CO2 Emissions: The Full Portfolio
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) released a study that shows that the aggressive development and implementation of a full portfolio of advanced electricity technologies could reduce the economic cost of cutting future U.S. CO2 emissions by more than 50 percent while meeting the continuing growth in demand for electricity.
