World Nuclear Energy Day aims to raise awareness of the many positive contributions that nuclear energy systems make to our society. World Nuclear Energy Day celebrates the people that design, build, operate and support the broad range of technologies from large systems down to tiny micro-nuclear. Together we celebrate, with YOU at the center.

executive summary
December 2 is World Nuclear Energy Day, Annually
Theme for 2025 is "Power the Planet, Sustain our Future"
Theme for 2025 is "Power the Planet, Sustain our Future"
Date: December 2, annually is "World Nuclear Energy Day"
This date was chosen because it is the anniversary of Fermi's self-sustaining reaction!
This date was selected to acknowledge BOTH the first date for a self-sustaining chain reaction and also the date of the start-up of the first commercial-scale electric power reactor. Fermi’s first nuclear reactor named the Chicago Pile-1 became the first to create a self-sustaining chain reaction on December 2, 1942. In tribute to Fermi, the first commercial-sized power reactor in Shippingport, Pennsylvania went critical also on the date of December 2nd, in 1957; exactly 15 years later on the same day.

Each year we set upon a theme for the year, and this year is "Power the Planet, Sustain our Future"
On December 2, 2025, World Nuclear Energy Day celebrates the crucial role nuclear technology plays in creating a clean, resilient, and sustainable world. As global electricity demand rises alongside pressing climate concerns, nuclear energy stands out as a reliable, carbon-free source of power that operates 24/7. By generating vast amounts of electricity without greenhouse gas emissions, nuclear power supports the transition away from fossil fuels, helps stabilize energy grids, and ensures energy independence.
This campaign, "Energizing the Future," highlights the proven track record of nuclear as a powerful tool for decarbonization and spotlights the innovative, next-generation technologies poised to meet tomorrow's energy needs. It is a day to recognize the "heroes and sheroes" who design, build, and operate these advanced systems and to educate the public on the benefits of this vital energy source.
