Beyond the Basics: The Potential Role of Advanced Nuclear in Alaska - Day 2

As advanced nuclear energy moves from research to reality, new questions arise about readiness, deployment timelines, and regional fit. Building on earlier discussions, this two-part workshop will focus on recent progress in U.S. demonstration projects, evolving regulatory frameworks, and the readiness of Alaska’s utilities and communities to evaluate nuclear options. Sessions will examine applications ranging from rural microreactors to larger systems serving the Railbelt or industrial hubs such as mines and data centers. Designed as a forward-looking dialogue, the workshop will connect national developments to Alaska’s practical energy needs—offering participants an up-to-date understanding of where advanced nuclear stands today and what it could mean for Alaska’s energy future. This is part of a quarterly series of virtual workshops hosted by the Alaska Center for Energy and Power and the State of Alaska. The purpose of these workshops is to continue the connections made, strengthen relationships, and share knowledge among the energy-focused community in a lead up to the 2026 Alaska Sustainable Energy Conference.
