About
In 2019, nuclear energy supplied 55% of America’s carbon-free electricity but facilities are aging (and new construction's at a standstill). Radical new reactor designs could completely change the paradigm for nuclear energy & aid in decarbonization… if these innovations can successfully move from the lab to the marketplace.
A July 14 webinar organized by the Duke University Energy Initiative will spotlight these technologies, their potential impact on the nation’s energy profile, and the economic, regulatory, and social challenges that entrepreneurs are facing as they seek commercialization of the new reactors.
Featured experts Dr. Rachel Slaybaugh (ARPA-E and UC Berkeley) and Jessica Lovering (Carnegie Mellon University and The Energy for Growth Hub) will take part in a conversation will be moderated by Dr. Eric Rohlfing, Energy Initiative executive-in-residence and former acting director of ARPA-E.
