National Academy of Sciences Building

Building on recommendations from the consensus report, Laying the Foundation for New and Advanced Nuclear Reactors in the United States, this workshop aims to facilitate in-depth discussions among policymakers, regulators, community experts, and technical experts from industry, national labs, and academia regarding the challenges of deploying more nuclear power in the United States as part of a decarbonization strategy. 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.
