... Appendix B Workshop Agenda JANUARY 29, 2025 Objectives • Determine the readiness of new nuclear designs and of the nuclear ecosystem to enable and support new deployment at scale • Better understand the challenges surrounding construction of new nuclear power plants and how to develop resilient and agile supply chains necessary to support deployment • Better understand the market for the range of nuclear reactor technologies and end user expectations of nuclear energy deploy ment to meet their needs • Explore efforts to improve options for sustained financial backing that will alleviate risks of abandonment, regulatory complica tions, and public perception • Consider how existing host communities are already supporting advanced nuclear projects and how partnerships drive alignment, address risks, and ensure shared benefits for all 8:00 AM Breakfast 9:00 AM Welcome and Opening Remarks Kasia Kornecki, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Board on Energy and Environmental Systems 68

... Panelists will speak to recent experiences in recent Advanced Passive 1000 (AP1000) Vogtle 3 and 4 builds and supply chain experience in naval nuclear systems to raise awareness of the challenges surrounding the construction of new nuclear power plants, including the magnitude of the human capital necessary to meet 200 GW of nuclear power by 2050.
