From data centers to industrial and petrochemical integration, the new and novel applications of advanced reactors is gaining heavy traction! Join Tay Stevenson and I in a live two-day recap of the United States Nuclear Industry Council’s Advanced Reactor Summit. The shift in possibility from large, conventional power facilities for utilities (1000MW and above) to smaller, more bespoke nuclear applications is happening. Funding is being generated from new and private parties which is amplifying focus from not just the developers of technology, but also the new customer bases and legislature. Texas openly displaying their “Welcome Mat” with Honorary Cody Harris, Texas House Representative presenting a large image with narrative on how we are making the state a nuclear policy a friendly environment, DOW Chemicals and Natura Resources proving it.
“I know we have the facts on our side, and the people working on it truly care." – Tay Stevenson
Thank you Jeffrey Merrifield, Todd Abrajano and The USNIC for one of the most well thought out, curated conferences I have had the pleasure of attending.
