1.U.S. Department of Energy/Nuclear Power Industry, Strategic Plan for Light Water Reactor Research and Development, February 2004
The mission of this plan is "To expand the use of safe and economical nuclear energy in the United States to meet future electricity demand, foster economic growth, provide security and fuel diversity, and enhance environmental quality."

2.Source Book: Soviet-Designed Nuclear Power Plants
Since the accident at Chernobyl Unit 4 in 1986, Soviet-designed reactors—especially the RBMK design used at Chernobyl—have been the subject of considerable scrutiny. Experts in the West—from international organizations, independent groups and governments—as well as specialists in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe have examined the designs and performance of these nuclear plants. From the time it was first issued in 1992, the Source Book on Soviet-Designed Nuclear Power Plants has tracked much of this activity, from the plants’ operation to efforts aimed at improving their safety. There has been forward movement on the issue of Soviet reactor safety. While neither smooth nor consistent, nor always enough to satisfy, it is progress all the same.

3.French National Academy of Medicine (Academie nationale de medecine), Energy Choices and Health (Choix energetiques et sante, recommendations)
"Nuclear generating stations appear to have the lesser impact on health by kWh produced, compared to power generated by fossil fuels or even, as shown, notably, in the European Commission's ExternE Report and considering the high level of security of nuclear installations, by wind, photovoltaic cells or biomass."

4.Nuclear Power Plant Regulation
"Sustained improvements in reliability and economic performance over the past decade demonstrate that most U.S. nuclear power plants can be competitive with other sources of electricity. Restructuring of the electric power industry and the emergence of competition in the generation business place a premium on an efficient, disciplined regulatory system."

5.Deterring Terrorism: Aircraft Crash Impact Analyses Demonstrate Nuclear Power Plant's Structural Strength (EPRI Study)
This independent study demonstrates through state-of-the-art computer modeling techniques that structures housing reactor fuel at U.S. nuclear power plants would protect against a release of radiation even if struck by a large commercial jetliner. The study was conducted by EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute).

6.The Role of Nuclear Energy in Reducing CO2 Emissions in the Northeastern United States, Polestar Applied Technology, Inc. Study, May 2005
This study demonstrates that nuclear energy must remain a leading source of electricity in the Northeastern United States for decades to come if efforts under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) to reduce CO2 emissions in the electricity sector are to prove successful without major upheaval for industry and consumers. Nuclear energy produces 31.6 percent of the Northeast’s electricity, making it the single-largest electricity source in the region. The prominence of nuclear power plants means that Northeastern states already enjoy some of the lowest carbon dioxide emission rates in the country.

7.U.S. DOE EIA Report, New Reactor Designs
This report by the Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy from August 2003 provides information and sources of additional information on nuclear reactor designs that are either available to be built in the United States now or anticipated to become available by 2030. Certified designs, those in various stages of certification, those anticipated for certification, and those in the conceptual stage (Generation IV reactors) are included.

9.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."
