The recent completion of Plant Vogtle, the largest nuclear energy plant in the United States, has sparked new opportunities for building next-generation light water reactors to produce reliable, clean energy. However, significant barriers remain to nuclear deployment, including technical challenges, regulatory hurdles, and investment risks that complicate decision-making timelines. Join The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine online or in person in Washington, D.C. for a workshop on January 29-30, 2025 to explore pathways for new nuclear development in the United States. The workshop will facilitate in-depth discussions among policymakers, regulators, community leaders, and technical experts regarding the challenges of deploying more nuclear power, including ways to improve construction, financing, decision-making, public engagement, education and training, and regulatory efficiency.
