The NIA’s mission is to bring economically competitive zero-carbon energy to the world by supporting entrepreneurialism and accelerated innovation and commercialization of advanced nuclear energy systems. Through policy analysis, research, and education, we are catalyzing the next era of nuclear power.

We envision a world of prosperous communities and thriving nature supported by an abundant and sustainable 21st century energy supply. Our team is passionate about clean energy and the stewardship of our planet. We celebrate and value diversity and are committed to building an inclusive organization. The Nuclear Innovation Alliance is a think tank developing advanced nuclear policy solutions to mitigate climate change. We support and inform the emerging nuclear innovation ecosystem.

The world needs economic, flexible, secure, zero-carbon energy that can scale up rapidly to expand energy access while halting climate change. The next generation of nuclear energy can join with other clean energy sources to uniquely meet these needs. Governments, universities, civil society, and the private sector can work together to drive the innovation needed to make nuclear power competitive and scalable for global use.

Danielle Emche was a project manager at the Nuclear Innovation Alliance. Danielle passed away unexpectedly in August 2022. In honor of her tremendous contribution to our mission, NIA has established the Danielle Emche Memorial Internship and Fellowship Fund. Emche interns and fellows will pursue nuclear innovation policy projects at NIA and will be selected based on their potential to make major contributions to enabling advanced nuclear energy as a climate solution. You can donate to the Fund by selecting the "Danielle Emche Memorial Internship and Fellowship Fund" option on the NIA donation page here.
