DOE fast tracks test reactor projects: What to know
The Department of Energy today named 10 companies that want to get a test reactor critical within the next year using the DOE’s offer to authorize test reactors outside of national laboratories. As first outlined in one of the four executive orders on nuclear energy released by President Trump on May 23 and in the request for applications for the Reactor Pilot Program released June 18, the companies must use their own money and sites—and DOE authorization—to get reactors operating. What they won’t need is a Nuclear Regulatory Commission license.

Session Organizer:
Following the March 2023 release of the U.S. Department of Energy’s “Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Advanced Nuclear” report, there has been an increasing focus on securing and preparing the future nuclear workforce to meet a potential scaling of domestic nuclear capacity. Given this imperative, how can we encourage more individuals into the industry from various backgrounds and create pathways for them to acquire the necessary skills and expertise? This panel session aims to explore the career trajectories of industry professionals entering the nuclear sector and analyze how these journeys could influence the recruitment of skilled individuals for the future workforce.
