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."

3.Tennessee Valley Authority, ABWR Cost/Schedule/COL Project at TVA's Bellefonte Site: New Nuclear Plant Licensing Demonstration Project, August 2005
The full report of the TVA consortium's study on the feasibility of constructing new nuclear plants at the Bellefonte site.

4.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)

5.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."

6.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

7.Survey: Nuclear Power Plant Neighbors Accept Potential for New Reactor Nearby by Margin of Nearly 3 to 1
Eighty-two percent of Americans living in close proximity to nuclear power plants favor nuclear energy, and 71 percent are willing to see a new reactor built near them, according to a new public opinion survey of more than 1,100 adults across the United States.

9.Deterring Terrorism: Aircraft Crash Impact Analyses Demonstrate Nuclear Power Plant's Structural Strength (EPRI Study)
This independent study demonstrates through state-of-the-art computer modeling techniques that structures housing reactor fuel at U.S. nuclear power plants would protect against a release of radiation even if struck by a large commercial jetliner. The study was conducted by EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute).

10.Risk Characterization of the Potential Consequences of an Armed Terrorist Ground Attack on a U.S. Nuclear Power Plant (EPRI Public Health Analysis)
This independent study demonstrates through state-of-the-art computer probabilistic, risk-assessment techniques that there would be one short-term fatality every 6,000 years at a nuclear plant and indistinguishable long-term cancer fatality risks from terrorist ground attacks involving a nuclear power plant. To put this in perspective, the short-term fatality estimate is over 80 times lower than NRC safety goals. The study was conducted by EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute).
