Webinar Registration - Zoom: There are great expectations for small modular reactors. Llewellyn King via gmail.mcsv.net 12:11 PM (19 minutes ago) to me Greetings Friends, Small modular reactors are on the march in power generation. But they are an irregular army of conflicting designs (some are fast reactors, others are light water), power ratings and variables, like refueling. For SMRs the big questions are licensing, construction time and ultimate cost. At present few electric utilities are showing enthusiasm for them, but many are interested — a fine distinction. I am excited to tell you that the United States Energy Association will be holding a virtual press briefing on Tuesday, October 17, at 11 a.m. Eastern Time with leaders of the SMR revolution answering questions from four gifted journalists who cover energy. The atmosphere is collegial, the exchange of information is enlightening. On the experts panel: Tom Marcille, Vice President & Chief Nuclear Officer, Holtec International SMR James Schaefer, Senior Managing Director, Guggenheim Partners John Hopkins, President & CEO, NuScale Mark Gake, Nuclear Technology Portfolio Manager, Black & Veatch Steve Chengelis, Director of Research & Development Future Nuclear, EPRI Julie Kozeracki, LPO Senior Advisor, Department of Energy On the reporters panel: Jennifer Hiller, The Wall Street Journal Ken Silverstein, Forbes Peter Behr, E&E News Matt Chester, Energy Central I have organized this briefing and will moderate it. Mark Menezes, USEA president and CEO, and former deputy secretary of energy, will be on hand to lend his expertise. The briefing will last an hour and a half, and is open to the press and the public.

But an unusual number of questions hang over SMRs: How will they be brought to market? Are they really going to be cheaper than traditional light water reactors on a power-per-dollar basis? Which of all the new entrants will survive in the market? Will SMRs facilitate large-scale hydrogen production? Can the NRC handle licensing a variety of design concepts? How about the utilities? Which ones are going to buy and build? The United States Energy Association plans to get answers to these questions at its next virtual press briefing on October 17 at 11 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, when journalists who cover energy question experts in the field — those with the answers. The SMR briefing will feature a diverse panel of gifted and experienced executives who know the technology, the financing, the utility needs and the public acceptance. Mark Menezes, USEA President and CEO, and former deputy secretary of energy, will contribute his expertise as appropriate. Llewellyn King has organized and will moderate the b
