Our Mission and Commitment to Nuclear

At Entergy, we are committed to nuclear generation as a key element in providing a safe, clean and reliable energy future for our country.

With 11 nuclear generation plants in seven states, Entergy has capitalized on nuclear expertise and economies of scale to improve plant safety, performance, and reliability. Entergy's commitment to nuclear energy reflects its strong environmental commitment by providing emission-free power generation.

Safe

Entergy's commitment to safety is evident at all of the nuclear facilities we own, operate, and manage across the United States.

We take great pride in our distinguished record for making significant operational improvements in the safety and performance of our nuclear facilities. Safety performance of nuclear energy plants is measured by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s reactor oversight process, and Entergy Nuclear’s plants consistently perform at levels that require only baseline inspections and routine NRC interactions.

Secure

Nuclear reactors and the structures that contain them are among the strongest structures built by man. They are designed to safeguard plant personnel and the community even under the most catastrophic scenarios.

Clean

Nuclear is a clean energy source. Replacing nuclear plants with fossil-fueled plants would dramatically increase emissions into the atmosphere and surrounding environment.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy and the Energy Information Administration Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases published in 1999, the single most effective emission control strategy for utilities was to increase nuclear generation.
