Mike Kramer: Navigating power deals in the new data economy
Mike Kramer has a background in finance, not engineering, but a combined 20 years at Exelon and Constellation and a key role in the deals that have Meta and Microsoft buying power from Constellation’s Clinton and Crane sites have made him something of a nuclear expert.
Kramer spoke with Nuclear News staff writer Susan Gallier in late August, just after a visit to Clinton in central Illinois to celebrate a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Meta that closed in June. As Constellation’s vice president for data economy strategy, Kramer was part of the deal-making—not just the celebration.
Technical Session|Panel|Sponsored by RPD

Session Chair:

Alternate Chair:

Session Organizer:
The MARVEL reactor demonstration has two key objectives:
(1) as a pathfinder for advanced reactor developers, and
(2) as a testbed for novel nuclear uses and technologies.
This panel will focus on the second goal in light of the recently released Expression of Interest (EOI) on MARVEL utilization. The panel will provide an overview of how MARVEL reactor itself and supporting infrastructure can be utilized by end users for demonstrations and tests. Panelists will specifically cover topics relating to advanced controls (and leveraging the MACS/ViBRANT non-nuclear prototype testbed), microgrids coupled to MARVEL, and nuclear heat applications using MARVEL.
