#WeAreCriticalMass is is a social movement inspired by #WeTooCriticalMass, which represents two urgent and related calls to action: (1) growing demand for clean, safe and reliable nuclear energy; and (2) the need for a diverse and inclusive nuclear workforce to meet that demand.
The concept of “critical mass” was first used in nuclear physics. It represents the minimum amount of a fissionable material that will support a self-sustaining chain reaction. At this mass, the neutrons released in one fission reaction can trigger adjacent atoms to fission. A second definition explains socio-dynamic phenomena that drive actions and behaviors of large segments of the population. Also described as “critical density” in ecology, “threshold models of collective behavior” in sociology, and inflection points for policy influence in gender politics, the term illustrates how a spark ignites social movement.
Since 2022, responses to surveys conducted by the Pew Research Center have marked a shift in support for nuclear energy in the U.S. with over 50% of adults saying they favor more nuclear generation for electricity. International support is similarly on the rise. In January 2024 World Nuclear News published an article on a global survey that found high public support for nuclear energy. “One-and-a-half times more people support the use of nuclear energy than oppose it.” A social movement is coalescing into an international energy policy direction. We are poised to unlock and mobilize new nuclear technologies that will improve the general welfare of all the world’s people. We are critical mass.
