All GABI past and future events
President Florence Lowe-Lee spoke at a conference titled, "The next decade: Shaping the future of US-ROK nuclear cooperation" which was hosted by The Atlantic Council at KHNP. President Lowe-Lee discussed opportunities to elevate US-Korea collaboration to meet the growing energy needs through nuclear deployment.
With the market demand signal for new nuclear builds resulting from COP28 nuclear pledges, the global nuclear market is preparing for a significant capacity demand for new nuclear export projects. Currently, Russia dominates the global nuclear export business, and China is expected to follow closely given their rapid domestic capacity expansion and supply chain efforts.
The Science, Space and Technology Committee in the House has focused heavily on a number of energy and nuclear focused activities to support the US nuclear industry domestically. There are a number of nuclear supportive legislations that have resulted from this committee including the legislation to support the Advanced Reactor Deployment Program (ARDP). The opportunities
August 19-22, 2024, GABI and the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) organized a high-level private multilateral workshop among nuclear experts from the US, South Korea, Japan, and Canada to discuss opportunities for international collaboration in exports, innovation, and more.
There are a number of challenges facing the nuclear industry when it comes to rapidly deploying nuclear energy technologies to meet growing energy needs. Artificial Intelligence has progressed to a point where it can provide significant benefits to the nuclear industry particularly in streamlining the time and resources necessary to perform certain functions such as
Nuclear energy and power were previously considered in the context of a commodity that could be bought, sold, and traded on the global market. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has accelerated the attention and focus on developing nuclear energy solutions around the world to meet energy needs, as it represents a significant security value
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has made significant progress in recent years to update the regulations to adapt to the incoming wave of new reactor designs from small modular reactors and microreactors to advanced reactor designs. There are new licensing frameworks being developed to enable the licensing of new reactors to meet demand needs
President Florence Lowe-Lee spoke at the Reuters Events: SMR & Advanced Reactors 2024 Conference under a session titled, "Reframing Nuclear Power: Engaging New Dialogues". This session aimed to address pathways towards re-engaging the public to enable public awareness and support for nuclear power as nations undertake the activities and deployments necessary to meet COP28 pledges
As the US Government moves to support nuclear fission and fusion strongly, new public-private partnerships agreements have been made that reflect performance-based, fixed-price milestone contracts. Initially demonstrated with significant success in the space industry between NASA and SpaceX, these milestones based contracts can enable significant advancements in nuclear reactor demonstration projects as well as nuclear
