The Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA’s Women in Energy initiative and Accenture invite you to join us for an evening of conversation and networking focused on how nuclear energy could fuel the age of AI and change the energy industry. 

As data centers drive unprecedented energy demand, tech giants are turning to nuclear power for reliable, carbon-free electricity at scale. This event explores how nuclear energy is powering the AI era, what major tech companies are doing now, and the career opportunities emerging at this critical intersection.

The program will include a panel discussion featuring leaders from the energy sector who will share insights on market trends, policy developments, and opportunities in this rapidly evolving space. After the panel, attendees will participate in small group discussions to connect with industry professionals, ask questions, and gain practical advice on pursuing careers at the intersection of energy and power.

Whether you are a student, early-career professional, or seasoned expert, this event will provide valuable perspectives and connections in one of the most dynamic frontiers of the energy transition.

Advancing Regulatory Efficiency: Lessons and Opportunities in NRC Licensing Practice

The NRC is already experimenting and making improvements in reducing licensing review times without changing the diligence or substance of its evaluations, and the results are promising. If the projected volume of applications materializes, the NRC will need to continue to apply the new approaches it has begun using, as well as seek out additional efficiencies. This paper lays out actionable recommendations on what NRC can do now—under existing statutory authority—to further compress schedules while preserving safety, due process, and analytical quality.
