From Capitol Hill: Nuclear is back, critical for America’s energy future
The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Energy convened its first hearing of the year, “American Energy Dominance: Dawn of the New Nuclear Era,” on January 7, where lawmakers and industry leaders discussed how nuclear energy can help meet surging electricity demand driven by artificial intelligence, data centers, advanced manufacturing, and national security needs.

The webinar is free and open to all.
Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) and the ANS Young Members Group invite you to discuss the feasibility of next generation nuclear reactors, SMRs and microreactors, in response to Puerto Rico's pressing energy needs and legislative interest – House Resolution 1189.
The study represents a first-of-a-kind collaborative effort – led by the Nuclear Alternative Project (NAP), a non-profit organization of Puerto Rican engineers in the nuclear industry, and is supported by nuclear developers and national labs. This study involved a team of more than 20 consultants and industry advisors.
The panelists will present the study's key findings with a special focus on applications for Puerto Rico's manufacturing sector and critical infrastructure needs.
