The Next Generation of Nuclear Energy

Nuclear energy accounts for 20 percent of our country’s electrical supply. It’s a vital part of our energy grid, but will it always be? Should it be? When you attend this seminar you will hear about how nuclear power is a critical component to our energy usage today and in the future. Join us for a discussion about "The Next Generation of Nuclear Energy." You will also learn about the current state of nuclear power and current development of advanced nuclear reactors and the efforts to bring them to market.
