G7 pledges support for nuclear at Italy meeting
The Group of Seven (G7) recommitted its support for nuclear energy in the countries that opt to use it at a Ministerial Meeting on Climate in Italy last month.
In a statement following the April meeting, the group committed to support multilateral efforts to strengthen the resilience of nuclear supply chains, referencing the goal set by 25 countries during last year’s COP28 climate conference in Dubai to triple global nuclear generating capacity by 2050.

Kairos Power and NRC Experiences with Hermes Advanced Test Reactor Application Review.
Effective and efficient regulation of new nuclear reactors is critical to the successful and timely deployment of advanced nuclear energy. Kairos Power is actively engaged with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on the licensing of the Hermes and Hermes 2 demonstration reactors with a goal of deploying their reactors in Oak Ridge in the next five years. Join panelists from Kairos Power and NRC to learn more about the new nuclear licensing process, hear first-hand lessons learned on both preparing and reviewing advanced reactor license applications, and gain insights how the industry and NRC are preparing for future new nuclear reactor license reviews.
