Demystifying Nuclear & SMR Pathways to Improve Long-Term Energy Planning
3:30 pm
• Assessing the realistic position of nuclear energy: which technologies are nearing commercial deployment, what timelines are achievable, what are the true costs and how quickly can operators expect to get power online?
• Identifying key challenges and obstacles to SMR adoption, including regulatory barriers, financing hurdles and grid integration limitations
• Analyzing the advantages of isolated micro-nuclear systems, including their ability to serve a single data center, reduce grid dependency and potentially feed excess power back into the local grid
