1.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.

2.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."

5.Consumer Energy Council of America, Fueling the Future: Better Ways to Use America's Fuel Options, May 2006
“Over the next 20 years, the need will increase for affordable and reliable power that does not emit criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases. Nuclear energy is the only proven resource that can accomplish this goal on a large scale.” (p. ES-10)

6.World Nuclear Association, The New Economics of Nuclear Power, December 2005
This WNA report distils 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."

7.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
