On Thursday 24 October 2024, Kirsten Gogan FEI FRSA moderated an Innovation Advisory Panel Session during the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency's Steering Committee for Nuclear Energy Policy Briefing on “Nuclear Innovation and Newly Emerging Disruptive Technologies”. Introductory remarks were delivered by Dr Marta Žiaková, Chair of the Steering Committee for Nuclear Energy and Mr William D. Magwood, IV, Director-General, Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA). This meeting was an opportunity to engage directly with policy-makers on the Steering Committee about the potential and challenges for innovation and disruptive technologies to advance #nuclear #energy sector priorities. #innovation #nucleartechnologies #cleanenergy #energytransition

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)'s 1st International Conference on Small Modular Reactors and their Applications started today and Kirsten Gogan FEI FRSA, Founding Director and Co-CEO of Terra Praxis moderated the opening panel discussion. Following a remarkable series of announcements from some of the world's largest industrial energy users, signaling their demand for clean and reliable energy from #nuclear, panelists explore opportunities and challenges in deploying emerging nuclear #SMRs technologies. Rafael Mariano Grossi, IAEA's Director General, as one of the panelists, highlighted the need to "make nuclear simple - without cutting corners - to recognize the need to adapt to a new business model", while Kirsten Gogan FEI FRSA pointed out that "we're halfway through this critical decade, and all over the world major energy users are thinking about how to meet their decarbonization goals and substitute for the heat, power, hydrogen, and steam that is powering their business critical energy services." While we are in the de-risking phase, Kirsty pointed out, we need to be thinking about how we scale SMRs deployment once the de-risking phase is over. #REPOWER #IAEA #TerraPraxis #SMR #AdvancedNuclear #NetZero #Scale #Speed #Decarbonisation #EnergyTransition #Heat #Industry #Hydrogen #Power #Energy

Congratulations X-energy and Amazon on your ambition and leadership!

Don't miss the chance to learn about the many advantages Small Modular Reactors (#SMRs) have to offer from the best experts in the field, including Terra Praxis Co-CEO Kirsten Gogan FEI FRSA who will moderate an opening session with the #IAEA Director General Grossi on Tuesday at 3:00 pm (local time).

This order by Google for six to seven small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) from Kairos Power is a huge deal for one of the most impressive advanced reactor developers on the scene. It is a bold move by Google, which will help pave the way for more orders, more investments, and for more reactor vendors to be successful as well. This is just the start. The unmet demand for data centers, industry, and to repower coal plants is colossal. Advanced nuclear could generate the emissions-free civilisation-scale heat and power needed to address it. Congratulations to the pioneering and talented team at Kairos Power on leading the charge!

We welcome this as an important and timely contribution of the just-released International Atomic Energy Agency publication on financing advanced nuclear. When it comes to financing long term investments in nuclear power projects, strategic planning and financial foresight play pivotal roles. Financing nuclear power projects requires balancing capital intensive investments with long term project sustainability. Terra Praxis REPOWER makes cost-competitive advanced nuclear feasible. https://lnkd.in/dDSH55S4
