The United States Nuclear Industry Council (USNIC) is a bipartisan, not-for-profit membership organization for U.S.-based companies and institutions involved in advanced nuclear energy development and deployment in the United States.
USNIC convenes the nuclear industry through events, policy briefings, and professional forums that connect member organizations with federal agencies, regulators, and policymakers.
Energy demand in the United States is accelerating, and the responsibility to meet it is falling to the organizations building what comes next. Next-generation nuclear technologies are ready to deliver clean, reliable, 24/7 baseload power at the scale the country needs.
Turning blueprints into buildout requires more than engineering. It requires organizations willing to shape licensing, regulation, and policy as projects move forward.
Through USNIC, those organizations come together with regulators and policymakers to help ensure American nuclear innovation becomes energy that is approved, built, and brought into the future.

This includes over 100 small and large organizations across the U.S. nuclear energy industry, including:
“
If companies have any interest in being part of this huge growth area of advanced nuclear, USNIC is the place to start. Advanced reactors are going to require many new players, so USNIC is a great way to get to know this emerging business.
Chris Levesque
President and CEO,
TerraPower
“
Idaho National Lab really enjoys engaging with USNIC because of their connection to the advanced reactor developers. They promote practical issues to get reactors developed. It’s a great organization with great connections representing the advanced reactor industry.
Dr. Jess C. Gehin
Associate Laboratory Director, Nuclear Science and Technology,
Idaho National Lab
“
It was really USNIC that allowed me to get my foot in the door in the nuclear industry…I want to see other people like me who are looking for that opportunity, this is a great place to do it. This is the industry.
Tay Stevenson
CEO,
Envoy Public Labs
“
“The uniqueness here is we are trying to deploy the technologies of tomorrow. This organization can react really quickly to those changing dynamics. Being reactive and proactive at the same time—the ability to do that—is unique to USNIC.”
Ron Faibish
Senior Director of Strategic Development
Nuclear Technologies and Materials, General Atomics
“
“I am such a fan of USNIC and I’m really happy to see the direction the organization is going.”
