VIDEO: Delivering resilient nuclear infrastructure
Why this matters now
After nearly three decades of limited development, nuclear is returning to the center of the energy conversation. Federal agencies, utilities, and industrial owners face rising demand as they deliver reliable, low-carbon power for load growth, data centers, and decarbonization goals. However, the challenge is not just to build—it is to build well. Infrastructure must perform for decades, even as budgets tighten and workforce dynamics shift.
