3、 the world has not moved with sufficient conviction to achieve the full promise of nuclear energythat would require a tenfold increase in annual deployment compared to current levels.The Nuclear Scaling Initiative(NSI)is a collaborative effort of Clean Air Task Force(CATF),the EFI Foundation(EFIF),a
4、nd the Nuclear Threat Initiative(NTI)to build a new nuclear energy ecosystem that can quickly and economically scale to more than 50 gigawatts(GW)of safe and secure nuclear energy per year by the 2030s.The teams plan for revolutionizing how nuclear energy is constructed,financed,and regulated will a
5、dvance climate goals,spark economic development,expand energy access,and ensure that nuclear technology is used for only peaceful purposes.Over the next two years,NSI will embark on the first phase of this work in Central and Eastern Europe(CEE)and the United States with an approach that emphasizes
