Nuclear Energy

With one of the highest rates of unionized construction workforces in the energy sector, nuclear energy remains a key pillar of NABTU’s energy infrastructure framework. Our nation’s more than 90 nuclear power reactors produce 20% of our energy and have experienced a renaissance of support over the past few years. From the proposed restart of multiple reactors to the continued progress on the deployment of small modular and advanced reactors, NABTU’s members are hard at work supporting the nuclear industry. Most recently, NABTU and its members – more than 8,000 at peak construction – were proud to finish constructing the first new reactors built in decades, Plant Vogtle’s Unit 3 and 4 in one of the largest job-producing projects in the state of Georgia.
