Con un accesso senza precedenti all'industria nucleare in Francia, Russia e Stati Uniti, Nuclear Now esplora la possibilità per la comunità globale di superare le sfide del cambiamento climatico e della povertà energetica per raggiungere un futuro più luminoso attraverso il potere dell'energia nucleare. Sotto i nostri piedi, gli atomi di uranio nella crosta terrestre contengono energia incredibilmente concentrata. La scienza ha sbloccato questa energia a metà del XX secolo, prima per le bombe e poi per alimentare i sottomarini. Gli Stati Uniti hanno guidato lo sforzo per generare elettricità da questa nuova fonte. Tuttavia, a metà del XX secolo, quando le società hanno iniziato la transizione verso l'energia nucleare e si sono allontanate dai combustibili fossili, è iniziata una campagna di pubbliche relazioni a lungo termine per spaventare il pubblico, finanziata in parte da interessi legati al carbone e al petrolio.
