About this listen

 In this episode, our panel of experts shed light on exciting developments and challenges within nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is increasingly recognized as vital for ensuring energy security and stability. The growing energy demand from Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data centers drives the need to accelerate nuclear plant design and deployment. Our guests highlight the complexities behind large-scale nuclear projects and the imperative to bring advanced reactor technologies to the grid. Featured Guest – Emilio Baglietto, Associate Department Head and Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. AI and the growth of data centers are reshaping the energy sector. By 2030-2035, data centers are projected to consume 9% of US energy. This surge in demand suggests a reevaluation of how nuclear facilities are designed and constructed. Traditionally, facility construction spans 7-10 years, a timeline that must be accelerated to meet the rapid pace of innovation. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: AI and data centers – the new drivers of nuclear demand Challenges with past nuclear projects Is a nuclear renaissance ahead? Digitalization – the engine to redesign nuclear projects, manage lifecycles, and foster better collaboration with the supply chain Use of technology to meet safety requirements, ensure timely project completion and reduce rework The need for nuclear facilities to accelerate their design processes to meet capacity demands Connect with Emilio Baglietto: LinkedIn Connect with John Nixon: LinkedIn Connect with Greg Elliot: LinkedIn Connect with Matt McCullum: LinkedIn
