Date: December 2, 2022 is the 3rd Annual World Nuclear Energy Day
It is also the 80th 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 addition, the first commercial sized reactor in Shippingport, Pennsylvania also went critical on December 2nd, 1957; exactly 15 years later on the same day.

People Need Power
Each year World Nuclear Energy Day highlights one key aspect of the nuclear energy and power industry. This year we focus on "Power to the People"; the theme for 2023 in which we all engage, in ever-growing crowds of people in support of the positive benefits that nuclear brings by using Social Media and other network connectivity. "Power to the People" is a cultural expression and political slogan that has been used in a wide variety of contexts with roots in the environmental and cultural movements of the 1970's. This theme reminds us to raise awareness by engaging with the far-ranging global network of advocates and supporters of nuclear energy. Feel free to use this official Logo wherever you celebrate World Nuclear Energy Day.

"Power to the People" Theme for This Year
"Power to the People"
The World Nuclear Energy Day logo is a blend of great design and practical format. The date is December 2nd, annually. We've created a different "Theme" concept each year. This year the theme title is "Power to the People". Feel free to use this theme if you wish, but it is not required.
As background, nuclear energy spans not only the generation of electrical power, but also nuclear medicine, nuclear propulsion and more! Hence, we are comfortable that this theme term will span these realms.
"Power to the People" denotes our careful inclusion of people all over the globe to the positive benefits of nuclear energy. "Power to the People" is a cultural expression and political slogan that has been used in a wide variety of contexts with roots in the environmental and cultural movements of the 1970's. This theme reminds us to raise awareness by engaging with the far-ranging global network of advocates and supporters of nuclear energy. Feel free to use this official Logo wherever you celebrate World Nuclear Energy Day.
