Following the success of its initial two-year program, the Global Nexus Initiative began its workshop series on January 9, 2018, in Washington, D.C., to explore the evolving 21st Century challenges created by the development and deployment of advanced nuclear reactors. The workshop, Turning the Page for Advanced Nuclear Reactors, was organized into four sessions and the following presentations were made:
Global Nexus Initiative: Mission, Accomplishments, and Next Phase
Kenneth N. Luongo | Partnership for Global Security
NEI’s National Nuclear Energy Strategy
Everett Redmond | Nuclear Energy Institute
Climate and Nuclear Field Report
Armond Cohen | Clean Air Task Force
Nuclear Energy: Today and Tomorrow
Harsh S. Desai | Nuclear Energy Institute
Advanced Reactor Technology
Everett Redmond | Nuclear Energy Institute
Global Advanced Reactor R&D
Ashley Finan | Nuclear Innovation Alliance
Over the next two years, GNI will continue its focus on the intersection of nuclear power, climate change and global security, and build on the work that was done in phase one.
