The US Nuclear Future: Learning from Recent Experience and Confronting Future Challenges
Join RFF for a two-part event discussing the challenges and opportunities of a potential nuclear renaissance in the United States.
Details
Increasing US electricity demand is driving interest in new, firm sources of carbon-free electricity alongside low-cost variable resources like wind and solar. As a carbon-free source of reliable electricity, nuclear power has diverse support from a range of stakeholders.
Southern Nuclear, a subsidiary of Southern Company, runs eight units for Alabama Power and Georgia Power, including Vogtle Units 3 & 4, the first newly constructed nuclear units in the United States in over 30 years. Join Resources for the Future (RFF) on Tuesday, October 21, for a conversation between Billy Pizer and Southern Nuclear’s John Williams on lessons learned from the Vogtle Power project. The webinar will also feature a panel of experts who will discuss the challenges and opportunities facing a potential nuclear renaissance in the US.
