Panel: Nuclear Policy for Alternative Generation and Decarbonization

Avoiding catastrophic impacts of climate change will require near-zero electricity sector CO2 emissions by mid-century, if not sooner. Achieving the "decarbonization" of even the electric power sector will require preserving our current fleet of nuclear plants and investing in innovative next-generation nuclear technologies. Panelists will provide an update on the political landscape of nuclear energy looking forward past the 2020 election. There will be a discussion on hot topics such as opportunities for nuclear and renewables to complement the electricity grid, accelerating the deployment of advanced reactors, and non-electricity applications of nuclear power plants. Panelists will also highlight the opportunities for ANS members, particularly students and young professionals, to engage and learn more about the policy world.
