The nuclear industry’s best and brightest recently gathered in Washington, D.C., to discuss the latest developments and pioneering applications for nuclear power during NEI's Nuclear Energy Assembly (NEA).
Attendees heard from energy and environmental experts, government leaders, Hollywood screenwriters, and even had the chance to see a live recording of The Carbon Copy podcast.
Stephen Lacey was joined on stage by Jigar Shah, director of the DOE’s Loan Programs Office, and Katherine Hamilton, chair of 38 North Solutions, to discuss the future of nuclear energy.
When you think about nuclear, the U.S. is in a much different place today in the world than it was 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago. And we clearly have the best nuclear technologies in the world.
The episode covers a wide range of topics including scaling nuclear in America, difficulties the industry may face, how nuclear and other forms of clean power will work with renewables and batteries to power the grid of the future, and where the funding will come from to make it all happen.
And stay tuned for new podcast content…coming soon from the Nuclear Energy Institute!
