Ohio Nuclear Alliance
Origination
The Ohio Nuclear Alliance emerged organically from a small working group of industry, academic, and policy leaders who recognized both the opportunity and the risk in this moment. As national momentum around nuclear accelerates and other states organize aggressively, it became clear that Ohio needed a durable, credible structure to coordinate industry leadership, share information, and engage communities and decision-makers in a consistent, proactive way. What began as informal collaboration has quickly grown into a statewide effort that reflects both Ohio’s nuclear legacy and its future.
A Member-Driven Organization
ONA offers membership to both organizations and individuals, recognizing that informed participation and broad engagement are essential to shaping Ohio’s nuclear future. Members help guide priorities, working group focus areas, and statewide coordination efforts.
