The electric utility industry has set ambitious ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals, with most utilizes aiming to be carbon neutral by midcentury. As a key resource in a clean energy system, advanced nuclear power reactors provide zero carbon emissions, reduced water usage, and waste minimization while providing flexible generating capacity needed to ensure electric system reliability. This panel will explore emerging reactor technologies and their potential to support ESG and resilience goals, offering perspectives across the entire fuel cycle.
