NECX debut: Shaping the next era of energy
The sold-out inaugural Nuclear Energy Conference & Expo (NECX) got off to a roaring start in Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday morning with an opening plenary that was a live highlight reel discussing the latest industry achievements.
Starting with a lively promo video that left the audience amped up for Entergy’s CEO and NEI chair Drew Marsh, who welcomed everyone to the event, hosted jointly by the American Nuclear Society and the Nuclear Energy Institute. He spoke to a full house of more than 1,300 attendees, promising a blend of science, technology, policy, and advocacy centered around the future of nuclear energy.

Antineutrino detection could be a tool to remotely monitor a nuclear reactor's power, burnup, fuel composition, and used nuclear fuel repository. However, it is challenging to build portable detectors based on existing inverse-beta-decay interaction. Coherent-elastic-neutrino-nucleus-scattering (CEvNS) has recently emerged as the next generation, potential candidate for antineutrino measurements with kilogram-scale detectors. Nonetheless, there are several questions that need to be answered in the context of nuclear nonproliferation and reactor monitoring which will be discussed in this panel discussion: i) how low in antineutrino energy can one detect; ii) can an improvement in energy resolution be realized; iii) how can sensitivity to background radiation be treated; iv) what level of confidence can CEvNS provide in measuring power and burnup; v) how easily can they be deployed, and how much will they cost?
