USA: Study favours replacing Coal Plants with Nuclear Plants

This recently released study favours replacing retired or retiring coal power plants with nuclear power plants. The study finds that transitioning from a coal plant to a nuclear one would create additional higher paying jobs at the plant, create hundreds of additional jobs locally, and spur millions of dollars in increased revenues and economic activity in the host community. Importantly, it also found that, with planning and support for training, most workers at an existing coal plant should be able to transition to work at a replacement nuclear plant.
