The nuclear industry is set for resurgence across the country and around the world. There are 104 nuclear reactors operating in the United States today. Already, the nuclear industry has submitted six license applications to the NRC for as many as 10 new nuclear reactors, with the possibility that companies may file applications for another 10 to 18 reactors in the next 15 months. The industry has spent more than $2 billion on new nuclear plant activities, including the ordering of long-lead components.

Join industry leaders in reactor design, engineering, construction and procurement to learn how your company can become part of this growing dynamic market. These workshops will provide a unique opportunity to interact with key decision-makers from leading firms.

You will also hear firsthand about the market outlook for the nuclear sector, learn what is required to enter the market and interact directly with key procurement staff.
