Description:

Join John Kotek for a discussion on developments in energy policy and nuclear energy technology. He will explain the recent growth in demand for clean electricity being driven by data center and AI companies, illustrate how nuclear energy fits into the decarbonization plans of U.S. utilities and major energy consumers, provide an overview of the types and status of next-generation reactors, discuss ongoing efforts to demonstrate commercial-scale production of hydrogen and opportunities for nuclear as a source of industrial heat and other non-electric applications, and will explore the business and policy drivers that are raising interest in next-generation nuclear energy systems.

John Kotek is Senior Vice President for Policy and Public Affairs at the Nuclear Energy Institute, and is President of Nuclear Matters, a grassroots coalition of nuclear energy advocates. From 2015-2017, John served as Acting Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy in the US Department of Energy. John was Staff Director to the Blue Ribbon Commission on America’s Nuclear Future, which in 2012 recommended a new strategy for the U.S. nuclear waste management program. John has also served as a Congressional fellow, an R&D program manager at Argonne National Laboratory-West in Idaho, and as a public affairs consultant.
