DESCRIPTION:As we enter the mid-2020s\, an attempted second nuclear renaiss
 ance has had decidedly mixed results. From an original 31 new nuclear reac
 tor builds that were proposed in the late 2000s\, only two were constructe
 d and completed. Instead\, much of the existing US nuclear power fleet\, b
 uilt in the 1970s and 1980s\, has been renovated and continues to operate 
 today.\n\nIs a second nuclear renaissance truly dead in the USA? Or have c
 oncerns about global warming\, the US electric grid’s stability and a de
 teriorating global political environment given a new lease on life to adva
 nced reactors?\n\nSpeaker(s): John Hawkinson\, \n\nAgenda: \n5:30 PM – N
