The Nuclear Power Congress 2009

Advancing New Build: Innovative Project Financing, Development and Execution Strategies

With a new administration and a global credit crunch at play, what is the status of a nuclear energy comeback and new U.S. nuclear power plants? What progress has been made on new plant development? What is the current political landscape for nuclear power, and how will that influence consideration of COL applications? What financial backing is available, and from who? What alternative solutions are there for long-term nuclear waste disposal in light of the scrapping of Yucca Mountain? And what impact will public concern over potential climate change have on the industry’s resurgence?

ACI’s 2nd annual Nuclear Power Congress will get to the heart of these issues and more. This is an executive-level forum for industry stakeholders, designed to address the challenges surrounding the U.S. nuclear energy industry’s revival.  

Key areas of discussion will include:

• The current regulatory and policy outlook with regards to nuclear energy
• The status of federal and state incentives and legislation and their impact on the economics of new nuclear power plants
• Progress reports from proposed new plant project developers
• Innovative financing mechanisms for new nuclear power plants
• Re-establishing the nuclear infrastructure – supply chain demand and the procurement landscape
• The evolution of EPC contracts for new build – with real life examples
• Long-term nuclear waste storage options after Yucca Mountain
• Risk mitigation and allocation strategies
• Industry strategies for developing the next generation of nuclear engineers
• U.S. initiatives on new advanced fuel cycles
