Advanced nuclear will become an increasingly important source of safe, reliable, and flexible baseload power as the nation decarbonizes its energy systems. Firm and flexible power sources like nuclear, as well as low-impact hydro, geothermal energy, and zero-carbon fuels, complement and supplement the variable renewables that account for a growing share of grid energy. Advanced nuclear, along with all these energy sources, will help ensure there is reliable and affordable energy on a modern, decarbonized grid.
