Smarter waste strategies: Helping deliver on the promise of advanced nuclear
At COP28, held in Dubai in 2023, a clear consensus emerged: Nuclear energy must be a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. With electricity demand projected to soar as we decarbonize not just power but also industry, transport, and heat, the case for new nuclear is compelling. More than 20 countries committed to tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050. In the United States alone, the Department of Energy forecasts that the country’s current nuclear capacity could more than triple, adding 200 GW of new nuclear to the existing 95 GW by mid-century.
19th International Conference on Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Analysis (PSA 2025)
Paul is a nuclear engineering graduate from the Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute with over 45 years of experience in the nuclear industry, leading his first NPP PRA in 1977-1978. He specializes in consulting services for the application of risk-informed, performance-based concepts to optimize nuclear energy production, and covers safety, production, operations and design of nuclear facilities. He has participated in projects in over two dozen countries, supporting utilities, regulators, off-takers, and governments with technical services and training and has experience in many LWR and NLWR NPP technologies. He is a regular contributor to projects for the IAEA, the US State Department, EPRI and NEI, and participates in development of codes and standards for the ANS and ASME.
