Smarter waste strategies: Helping deliver on the promise of advanced nuclear
At COP28, held in Dubai in 2023, a clear consensus emerged: Nuclear energy must be a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. With electricity demand projected to soar as we decarbonize not just power but also industry, transport, and heat, the case for new nuclear is compelling. More than 20 countries committed to tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050. In the United States alone, the Department of Energy forecasts that the country’s current nuclear capacity could more than triple, adding 200 GW of new nuclear to the existing 95 GW by mid-century.

Earning a credential--whether it be a license, certification, or degree--is much more than the letters after your name or a certificate on the wall. It's a way to gain specific knowledge and skills, demonstrate your credibility and value to employers, and help you stand out among your peers. During this session, we will explore how various credentials can make a difference in your career in the nuclear industry and which credentials are most consistent with your professional goals. Panelists will share their stories about the impacts these credentials have had in their careers, and you will have ample opportunity to interact and ask questions. The credentials covered during this session include: Professional Engineer (P.E.) license, Senior Reactor Operator (SRO) certification/license, Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, Master of Business Administration (MBA), and advanced engineering degrees (master's, Ph.D.).
