The Center on Global Energy Policy invites you to attend a panel discussion on the future of nuclear power. This event will focus on important questions including: how can the lessons from the Fukushima disaster be used to contribute to convincingly safer construction and operation of nuclear reactors? Can new technology such as Integral Fast Reactors or Small Module Reactors help restore public confidence and improve the commercial viability of nuclear power? What pathways exist for global collaboration on high-level waste management technology? In the evolving energy and climate landscape, how should society think about nuclear power as a zero-carbon fuel versus its other social externalities (radioactive waste, risk of disaster, water-intensity, etc.)? These and other issues will be discussed by our distinguished guests, who include:
Tom Blees, President, the Science Council for Global Initiatives
Jason Bordoff, Director, CGEP, Professor of Professional Practice in International Affairs, Columbia University
Dr. Yoon Chang, Senior Technical Advisor, Distinguished Fellow, Argonne National Laboratory
Joyce Connery, Director, Nuclear Energy Policy, National Security Staff, the White House
Ray Hunter, former Deputy Director of the Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology, U.S. Department of Energy
Nobuo Tanaka, Distinguished Fellow, CGEP; former Executive Director of the International Energy Agency
This event is open to press. Registration is required.

President Donald Trump has made energy a clear focus for his second term in the White House. Having campaigned on an “America First” platform that highlighted domestic fossil-fuel growth, the reversal of climate policies and clean energy incentives advanced by the Biden administration, and substantial tariffs on key US trading partners, he declared an “energy emergency” on his first day in office.
While he hasn’t released an official plan, Trump’s playbook the last time he was in office and his frequent complaints about clean energy offer clues to what’s ahead.
