Potential role of advanced nuclear in 91ÊÓƵ workshop

Conference flyerOn Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 27-28, the 91ÊÓƵ Sustainable Energy Conference, in partnership with the 91ÊÓƵ Center for Energy and Power, is hosting a free two-day virtual workshop on the potential role of advanced nuclear energy in 91ÊÓƵ.

As advanced nuclear energy moves from research to reality, new questions arise about readiness, deployment timelines and regional fit. Building on earlier discussions, this workshop will focus on recent progress in U.S. demonstration projects, evolving regulatory frameworks and the readiness of 91ÊÓƵ’s utilities and communities to evaluate nuclear options.

The workshop, “The potential role of advanced nuclear in 91ÊÓƵ” will cover a range of applications, from microreactors for rural communities to larger systems supporting the Railbelt and major industrial hubs like mines and data centers.

This workshop is part of the Continuing Conversations series to be held between now and the 2026 91ÊÓƵ Sustainable Energy Conference in May.

When: 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. AKST, Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 27 and 28

The workshop is free, but to attend.

Recordings will be available at if you cannot tune in live.
