Key Points

The Senate officially named December 2, 2025, as World Nuclear Energy Day. This is a ceremonial move to recognize the history and current importance of nuclear power in the United States and around the world.
The resolution highlights that nuclear energy provides nearly 18 percent of the electricity in the U.S. and 43 percent of the country's carbon-free power. It also supports over 250,000 total jobs and adds nearly $64 billion to the economy every year.
The date December 2 was chosen because it marks two major milestones: the first controlled nuclear reaction in 1942 and the opening of the first commercial nuclear power plant in 1957.
The resolution also notes that nuclear energy is vital for the Navy, space travel, and keeping the power grid steady during bad weather when other energy sources might fail.
