1.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."

3.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

8.Financing New Nuclear Power Plants
This policy brief details the importance of the federal loan guarantee program for the financing of new nuclear power plants. It describes how the program assists new-plant projects without providing government subsidies. Project developers are required to pay the cost of the loan guarantee, as well as the full cost of administering the program.
