How does nuclear energy support Louisiana’s long-term economic and workforce goals?


  • Nuclear development creates high-wage, skilled jobs that include engineering, manufacturing, construction, chemists and operations, among others.
  • Many of these roles align with Louisiana’s existing workforce in energy, chemicals, and manufacturing.
  • Greater availability of nuclear power can replace a significant portion of natural-gas-fired electricity, reducing demand competition for petrochemical facilities using methane as feedstock.
