Nuclear News 40 Under 40—2025

We weren’t sure how a second list would go over, but once again, our members resoundingly answered the call, confirming what we already knew: The nuclear community is bursting with vision, talent, and extraordinary dedication.

In this special event, ANS Executive Director/CEO Craig Piercy conducted a one-on-one interview with Jigar Shah, Director of the DOE’s Loan Programs Office (LPO).
Shah detailed the Biden administration's ambitious goals to decarbonize the power sector by 2035, which were highlighted in Shah’s article in the November issue of Nuclear News. He also discussed how nuclear can be an important part of the decarbonized energy mix in the U.S. and how he believes the LPO can support the administration’s target.

After SunEdison, Shah served as the founding CEO of the Carbon War Room, a global non-profit founded by Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Unite to help entrepreneurs address climate change.
