Does the Nuclear Energy Institute include a Chinese-controlled nuclear firm?

Published



A Washington Examiner analysis of the Nuclear Energy Institute’s annual member roster has confirmed that America’s largest and most prominent nuclear energy trade association has a relationship with a Chinese Communist Party nuclear energy giant: Daya Bay Nuclear Power Operations and Management Company, or DNMC.

The DNMC, which is required to pay dues to the private trade association as outlined on the NEI’s website and in public court records, is barred from conducting business in the United States because its parent company, General Nuclear Power Group, is controlled by China.
