From uncertainty to vitality: The future of nuclear energy in Illinois
Nuclear is enjoying a bit of a resurgence. The momentum for reliable energy to support economic development around the country—specifically data centers and AI—remains strong, and strongly in favor of nuclear. And as feature coverage on the states in the January 2026 issue of Nuclear News made abundantly clear, many states now see nuclear as necessary to support rising electricity demand while maintaining a reliable grid and reaching decarbonization goals.
Plenary Session

Moderator
In view of the decline in experimental facilities and experiments in reactor physics, our plenary session is more important than ever. It aims to present the latest advances and emphasise the crucial need for experimental data for the verification, validation and uncertainty quantification(VVUQ) of simulation tools. The aim of the plenary sessions is to present the state of the art in experimental physics at various facilities around the world and to discuss the current and future needs for experiments and experimental facilities for reactor physics.
