NN Asks: How can university faculty help the nuclear industry meet GenAI-era energy demands?
Pavel Tsvetkov
This question is the one that we ask and answer every day. University faculty are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between generative AI capabilities and the nuclear industry’s evolving energy challenges. By leveraging our expertise in research, education, and collaboration, faculty can drive advancements in nuclear technology, cultivate a skilled workforce, and foster public and industry support.
There is no industry without a skilled, well-educated workforce. At Texas A&M’s Department of Nuclear Engineering, we nurture our students through a very comprehensive and rigorous nuclear engineering program, which has a critical impact on the nuclear industry as those students enter the workforce. As nuclear industry demands grow, so too our student population is growing. We are approaching 200 graduate students and 400 undergraduate students in our programs.

Panel-Globalizing Nuclear: Building Capacity and Collaboration
Tripling global nuclear energy capacity by 2050 demands bold, coordinated action across countries and industries. In this panel, experts from diverse sectors will share how their organizations contribute to this ambitious effort. They will discuss strategies for helping new nations build nuclear capacity and emphasize the importance of international collaboration and support. Panelists will explain how vendors compete for nuclear contracts and expand their global reach. Panelists will also outline national strategies and preparations for scaling up nuclear energy. While most near-term projects center on fission, panelists will also explore fusion’s potential role, highlighting the progress, opportunities, and challenges. Together, they will showcase the dynamic, multi-layered approach required to achieve this global energy transformation.
