About

The recent completion of Plant Vogtle, the largest nuclear energy plant in the United States, has sparked new opportunities for building next-generation nuclear reactors to produce reliable, clean energy. However, significant barriers to nuclear deployment include technical challenges, regulatory hurdles, and investment risks that complicate decision-making timelines.

Building on recommendations from the consensus report, Laying the Foundation for New and Advanced Nuclear Reactors in the United States, this workshop aims to explore pathways for new nuclear development in the United States. This event will facilitate in-depth discussions among policymakers, regulators, community leaders, and technical experts from industry, national labs, and academia regarding the challenges of deploying more nuclear power, including ways to improve construction, financing, decision-making, and public engagement. Participants will discuss the real and perceived risks of new nuclear projects and their projected timelines, the risks and opportunities of co-locating with other facilities or in non-traditional locations, and the role different designs could play in meeting growing electricity demand.
