The reigning Miss America is preparing to pass on her crown but not before using a bit of its glamour to give nuclear power a PR rebrand.

Grace Stanke, 21, believes the US needs to boost its atomic energy capacity and she's not alone.  

Around 57 percent of Americans now favor more nuclear power plants, a huge swing from just 43 percent in 2020, according to the Wall Street Journal. 

Titans of industry including Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Oliver Stone have all thrown their support behind nuclear power.

Stanke has used her glitzy public profile and social media prowess to push the clean energy possibilities of splitting atoms to make electricity.
