Why Stand Up for Nuclear?

Nuclear is the key to building a sustainable clean energy future.

With nuclear, we can lessen our impact on the natural environment, keep our air clean, and reliably provide abundant clean energy for ALL.

Stand Up for Nuclear is the world’s first international pro-nuclear global initiative advocating for the protection and expansion of nuclear energy!

For the past five years, clean energy activists have stood in front of train stations, central plazas, and public parks to engage and educate the public about nuclear’s benefits and address widespread myths.

Join the movement. Have courage. Stand Up for Nuclear. Throughout the years, allies across 32 countries on six continents have organized events and actions to spread the word.

Stopping & reversing Nuclear phaseouts

It is an environmental crime to shut down clean, existing infrastructure in a climate and energy crisis. Operating nuclear plants are a proven, cost-effective, reliable source of low-carbon energy, and currently provide 10% of the world’s electricity, and are the 2nd largest source of clean energy.

Nuclear energy plants can last up to 80-100 years and when they are prematurely closed, the lost power is replaced with fossil fuels, increasing emissions.

growing the global nuclear community

With nuclear, we can secure our clean, abundant energy future for all. However, nuclear has long been misunderstood and feared due to the misinformation from anti-nuclear activists and the lack of communication from the industry to the public.

But times have changed - the scientific consensus agrees nuclear will have to play a vital role in decarbonization efforts if we are to meet our climate goals. 

restarting & extending nuclear reactors

The world continues to need more energy, not less. Nuclear plants are clean energy powerhouses that produce vast amounts of low-carbon energy, provide high-paying jobs, and economically benefit the surrounding area.

Major scientific bodies agree the most cost effective climate solution is to keep nuclear plants running for as long as safely possible.
