VI. Public Private Financing:
Discussion on why the U.S. government is spending billions to support and stimulate investment in advanced civil nuclear deployment: U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of Energy (Loan Program Office), the EXIM Bank of the U.S., and the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). The importance of other non-U.S. institutions.
VII. Case Study: OPG with GE and BWXT Canada:
VIII. Progress on Advanced Nuclear Licensing Modernization:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Congress have actively worked to update the licensing process to be better suited to review the current technology of Advanced Nuclear Reactors. Learn what actions both the NRC and Congress are undertaking to make investments in advanced nuclear energy more appealing to investors and how current companies are successfully navigating the NRC licensing process.
IX. Nuclear SMRs to Decarbonize Industrial Sectors:
X. Panel Discussion: Perspectives on Private Financing from Wall Street:
The future for large-scale deployment of new reactors will depend on the availability of private financing and the willingness of the financial community to support these investments. Leaders in the private sector energy financing community will share their thoughts on the financing of nuclear projects, explain why the advanced nuclear industry is on the right track, and what the industry is doing to make financing these projects attractive.
A Networking Reception will take place at the conclusion of the Summit.
