Join senior executives from companies actively building and advancing nuclear facilities for a high-impact plenary panel focused on turning momentum into megawatts. This session will explore what it takes to deliver nuclear projects at scale—across reactors, fuel, and the broader nuclear ecosystem. Panelists will share real-world insights on deploying proven fission technologies, advancing fusion toward commercialization, and ensuring the availability of reliable nuclear fuel, including front-end fuel supply, enrichment, fabrication, and advanced fuel forms. The discussion will also address practical challenges related to supply chains, workforce readiness, regulatory alignment, and execution required to bring new nuclear capacity online.
