SMR and advanced reactors poised to be the future of nuclear power in the US

The SMR and Advanced Reactor industries offer exciting prospects for the future of nuclear power in the US and around the world. With NuScale about to submit their design to the NRC for approval, there are significant opportunities ahead for US nuclear suppliers to claim a part of this lucrative market.
However, much has yet to be done in order to prepare for the arrival of these reactors. At the world’s largest SMR and Advanced Reactor Summit (30-31 March 2017, Atlanta), 300+ industry leaders will meet to overcome the financial, regulatory and supply chain hurdles that currently slow the commercialization of new reactor designs.
You can find the full 2-day agenda and speaker line up for the world’s largest SMR and Advanced Reactor Summit here
Take a look at just a handful of the top reasons you need to be at the event in 2017:
  • Hear from key industry leaders, such as; Steve Kuczynski, CEO of Southern Nuclear, Mike McGough, Chief Commercial Officer at NuScale, Rita Baranwal, Director of the GAIN Initiative, and Ray Rothrock, Venture Capitalist.
  • Discuss the potential to utilize SMRs and Advanced Reactors for applications other than electricity generation, helping to keep the nuclear industry competitive in such a price-volatile market.
  • With over 20 countries represented, 300+ executive peers and 10+ hours of networking time in 2017 this is the largest forum for the SMR and Advanced Reactor industries in the world.
If you have any comments or questions, I’d love to hear from you
