The New Mexico Nuclear Alliance
Advocacy, Policy, and Economic Development for a Carbon Free Energy Future
RECA Support for New Mexico Communities
New Mexicans impacted by radiation exposure may now be eligible for compensation through the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA). This includes downwinders and uranium workers across the state.
This expansion reflects years of advocacy, including leadership from Teresa Leger Fernández, who introduced legislation and led efforts in the U.S. House to ensure New Mexico communities are recognized and eligible for compensation
Powering New Mexico's Carbon Free Energy Future
The New Mexico Nuclear Alliance is dedicated to showing how nuclear energy strengthens our state’s carbon free energy transition. Our goals focus on education, advocacy, workforce, economic development, national security and community partnerships to ensure nuclear power creates prosperity and benefits for all New Mexicans. Nuclear energy powers next generation opportunity and infrastructure including: data centers, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and much more.
