The spotlight shines on a nuclear influencer
Brazilian model, nuclear advocate, and philanthropist Isabelle Boemeke, who the online TED lecture series describes as “the world’s first nuclear energy influencer,” was the subject of a recent New York Times article that explored her ardent support for and advocacy of nuclear technology.
Join us for the first inaugural U.S. Nuclear Industry Council’s (USNIC) Space Nuclear Industry Symposium (SNIS)!
The event brings together industry, government and other business leaders to discuss ongoing activities and plans that are specifically aimed to design, demonstrate and deploy nuclear power and propulsion technologies to support a rapidly growing and exciting space economy.
This first inaugural USNIC SNIS is held in conjunction with the 2024 NETS conference and planned in close coordination with the NETS organizers. It provides attendees a unique first-of-a-kind opportunity to hear from, and exchange opinions with, industry leaders and other experts in space nuclear power and propulsion on the future and potential contributions of these technologies to the space economy as a whole.
