With the global nuclear energy market expected to triple by 2050, emerging markets for advanced nuclear reactors and SMRs face a complex set of decisions. Please join the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center, Third Way, and ClearPath for the first of a private workshop series to assess the geopolitical implications of new countries acquiring nuclear energy technologies. 

The series will highlight regional perspectives, and it will provide an opportunity to discuss how new-to-nuclear countries view the role of nuclear energy, choose nuclear power plant vendors, and build in-country capacity to bring new reactors online. 

Please join us on Thursday, February 25th, from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST for the first workshop, “The Geopolitical Implications of Advanced Nuclear Reactors in Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa,” by registering below. Upon registration, you will receive Zoom details to join the private workshop on February 25th.
