US Congressman, DOE, NRC and NuScale to attend world’s largest SMR and advanced reactor summit

With the new administration comes a new energy policy and a new Secretary of Energy for the US. However, did you know that SMRs and Gen IV reactors have a strong backing in the Republican camp? Last year Congressman Randy Weber (R-TX) co-sponsored the Nuclear Energy Innovation Capabilities Act – a clear signal that nuclear is firmly on the agenda.
Congressman Weber will be giving an exclusive update at the 7^th Annual International SMR and Advanced Reactor Summit (March 30-31, Atlanta) on the progress being made to ensure the US is at the forefront of nuclear energy innovation.
