Andrew Smith (ANS Director of Communications)
In an era marked by combative trade policies, government spending cuts, and aspirations for energy dominance and supply-side abundance, the U.S. nuclear energy sector faces significant challenges and opportunities. This panel will explore how policy thought leadership and effective communication strategies can navigate the complexities introduced by deregulation, tariffs, a government-driven pivot away from decarbonization and more. Discussions will focus on crafting narratives that promote the advancement of nuclear technology domestically and internationally, addressing public perception, regulatory hurdles, and market dynamics. By leveraging strategic communication, the panel aims to equip industry professionals with tools to advocate for nuclear energy's role in achieving national energy objectives and maintaining global competitiveness.
