There are several factors that are encouraging nuclear plant operators to consider cryptocurrency mining today. Nuclear power remains the most reliable electric generating sources even though in many markets the cost to generate grid electricity exceeds the costs to produce. Cryptocurrency mining is profitable when the cost of power is low since electricity accounts for more than 80% of total O&M spending in a typical-mining operation. This session will feature a panel discussions by leading cryptocurrency integrators and utilities that are currently involved in the process of supporting mining followed by a facilitated discussion of the participants.
