September 10, 2024

This report highlights significant opportunities to expand nuclear energy at both operating and retired coal plants, as well as existing nuclear power plants.

Key findings include:

– 145 coal plant sites could host up to 174 GWe of new nuclear capacity.
– 54 existing and 11 retired nuclear sites could support an additional 60–95 GWe of nuclear energy.

This promising report shows how repurposing existing infrastructure can fast-track the transition to clean energy, create jobs, and reduce carbon emissions.
